DNA

Use this for the bio quiz on April 20! DNA is broadly covered, used the notes sheet and wrote EVERY detail

Nucleic

Means to originate from the nucleus

DNA

Short for deoxyribonucleic acid, names for DNA sugar deoxyribose, double stranded, carries information for all genes

Nucleic acids

DNA and RNA, store genetic information like hair and eye color in genes

Genes

Small units genetic information is stored in, a portion of DNA that codes for a protein controlling traits

Nucleotide

Building block (monomer) of DNA, has a phosphate group, sugar, and nitrogen base

The Nitrogen Bases

Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine

Match the nitrogen bases

Adenine with Thymine, Cytosine with Guanine

How are nitrogen bases classified as?

classified by the number of rings they have

Purines

two ring nitrogen bases, guanine and adenine are purines

Pyrimidines

single ring nitrogen bases like cytosine and thymine

DNA Ladder

made up of two strands of nucleotide, twisted to form a helix, two base pairs are held together by hydrogen

Hydrogen Bonds

A bonds with T with two hydrogen bonds, G bonds to C with 3 hydrogen bonds
