NUCLEIC ACIDS I.BASIC CONCEPTS II.CLASSES III.CHEMICAL NATURE IV.FUNCTION I.BASIC CONCEPTS NUCLEIC ACIDS polymeric macromolecules‚ or large biological molecules‚ essential for all known forms of life are made from monomers known as nucleotides Each nucleotide has three components: a 5-carbon sugar‚ a phosphate group‚ and a nitrogenous base If the sugar is deoxyribose‚ the polymer is DNA. If the sugar is ribose‚ the polymer is RNA. Together with proteins‚ nucleic acids are the most

acidic by everyday pollution from houses‚ factories‚ cars‚ and etc. This is the concept of acid rain‚ which according to EPA.gov is a broad term referring to a mixture of wet and dry deposition from the atmosphere containing higher than normal amounts of nitric and sulfuric acids. Acid rain isn’t just rain‚ its forms like hail or snow‚ which is wet deposition‚ and smoke or dust‚ which is dry deposition. The effects of acid rain are quite terrifying bringing all types of problems to the Earth‚ for example

Jimmy Wales and Michael Snow. | [Hide] [Help us with translations!] | DNA vaccine What is antisense technology? Antisense refers to opposing the normal order (“sense”) of the code in DNA. The DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in genes directs cells to assemble the proteins which comprise living creatures. The order of bases in DNA corresponds to the ordering of amino acids to form the proteins. To produce protein‚ the DNA of the genes in cells is first transcribed into a very similar molecule called

Chapter 4: Nucleic Acids and the RNA World 1. 4.1 – What is a Nucleic Acid? * Nucleic acids are made up of monomers called nucleotides * Three components of a nucleotide: 1. Phosphate group—attached to the 5’ carbon 2. Sugar – carbonyl group and several hydroxyl groups 3. Nitrogenous base * The prime (‘) symbols indicate the carbon being is part of the sugar—not attached to the nitrogenous base. * Four different nucleotides‚ each of which contains a different nitrogenous

Google Maps Intro: Global Positioning Systems (GPS) is a space based satellite navigation system that provides location and time information all over the globe where there is no obstruction to the line of sight to the GPS satellites. The GPS project was developed in 1973 to overcome the limitations of previous navigation systems. It was originally designed for military use by the U.S. Department of Defense.

DNA and the Gene: Synthesis and Repair 1) Watson and Crick elucidated the structure of DNA in 1953. Their research built on and helped explain the findings of other scientists‚ including ________. A) X-ray diffraction studies by Rosalind Franklin and Maurice Wilkins. B) Chargaff’s rules: C = G and T = A. C) Scientists who recognized that a nucleotide consisted of a sugar‚ a phosphate‚ and a nitrogen-containing base. D) All of the above were important considerations in the elucidation of

Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid‚ it is located in the nuclei of cells which make up the body. DNA is quite often referred to as one of the building blocks of the body.. It is made up of four bases known as: • Adenine • Guanine • Cytosine • Thymine James Watson‚ Francis Crick‚ Maurice Wilkins‚ Rosalind Franklin Crick and Watson‚ together with Maurice Wilkins‚ won the 1962 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine for their 1953 determination of the structure of
