Study Guide 3/1/11 1. Describe the three parts of a nucleotide and how they bond to form a nucleotide. The three parts of a necleotide are a carbon sugar‚ a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. The carbon sugars bond to the phosphate groups by covalent bonds while the nitrogenous base bonds with it’s compliment by hydrogen bonds. 2. Summarize the role of covalent bonds and hydrogen bonds in the structure of DNA. The role of covalent

DNA Replication Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) contains the genetic instructions for the biological development of a cellular form of life including some viruses. DNA is an antiparallel double helix molecule with sugar-phosphate backbone on the outer side and nitrogen bases in the inner side. The bases are paired specifically‚ also known as complementary pairing‚ Adenine (A) with Thymine (T)‚ and Guanine (G) with Cytosine (C) by two and three hydrogen bonds‚ respectively. DNA is a long polymer

DNA Research Paper DNA Structure: DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the code for life; it makes up the genetic material of living organisms. DNA is a long molecule made up of many subunits‚ or monomers‚ called nucleotides. Nucleotides are made up of three parts: a sugar‚ a phosphate group‚ and a nitrogenous base. Nucleotides contain a sugar-phosphate backbone and bases. There are four bases in DNA: adenine‚ cytosine‚ guanine‚ and thymine. A (adenine) always pairs with T (thymine)‚ and C (cytosine)

Transcription and Translation The function of DNA in the living world is at once strangely complex and surprisingly simple. The genetic code carried in molecules of DNA is responsible for a spectacular variety of life forms. Plant life in the Amazon‚ creatures on the ocean floor‚ and animals in the Serengeti have all arisen‚ and survive and thrive in their respective environments‚ because of the function of DNA. Inside every living cell‚ DNA directs vital activities‚ such as growth‚ division‚ movement
Free DNA RNA Gene
The upper most strand is the (coding strand) DNA base sequence (triplet) of the gene codes for synthesis of a particular polypeptide chain. The second strand is the mRNA base sequence (template strand used for copying) codon of the transcribed mRNA. The process for going from the upper stand to the second strand is called Transcription and involves an enzyme called polymerase. The polymerase attaches to the promoter region (start codon) and reads the nucleotide base sequence until it gets to a termination

DNA Transcription The process of transcription is where a copy of a gene is made within DNA to use as RNA. It is located in the nucleus of eukaryotes and in the nucleoid of prokaryotes. DNA stores information encoded in a genetic code. The code consists of four letters and they are T (thymine)‚ G (guanine)‚ A (Adenine)‚ and C (cytosine). One gene codes for on protein. RNA is a molecule that copies information that is coded in another genetic code. This code also consists of the same four

Experiment 2: Transcription and Translation 1. Use a pen or pencil to write a five word sentence using no more than eight different letters in the space below. Tea is a never ever 2. Now‚ use the red‚ blue‚ green‚ and yellow beads to form “codons” (three beads) for each letter in your sentence. Then‚ create codons to represent the “start‚ “space” and stop” regions within your sentence. Write the sentence using the beads in the space below: E: red:green:red I: Blue:red:blue T: blue:yellow:green
