DNA STRUCTURE
1. What role did Rosalyn Franklin play in our understanding of DNA’s structure? She discovered the double-helix position of the DNA.
2. What role did James Watson & Francis Crick play in our understanding of DNA’s structure? They discovered the 3D structure.
3. What type of macromolecular is DNA? Nucleic acid
4. What are the monomers of DNA? Nucleotides
5. What is the structure of a nucleotide? Draw It. A nucleotide consists of a phosphate molecule, a deoxyribose sugar, and a base (adenine, cytosine, gaunine, and thymine).
6. Which nucleotides are used to build DNA? Adenine, cytocine, guanine, thymine.
7. Which are used to build RNA? Adenine, uracil, cytocine, guanine.
8. What is a purine? How many rings do purines have? Purines are natural substances found in all of the body's cells, and in virtually all foods.
9. What is a pyrimidine? How many rings do pyrimidines have? 2 rings.
10. How is DNA different from RNA (strands, sugars, base pairs, location)? RNA is a nucleic acid polymer consisting of nucleotide monomers.RNA nucleotides contain ribose rings and uracil unlike DNA which contains deoxyribose and thymine.
11. What is the structure of a DNA molecule? a. What forms the backbone of the DNA molecule? Sugar rings and phosphates b. What kind of bonds occur between the 3' OH of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the next? Glycosidic bond b. What forms the “steps of the ladder”? Guanine, Adenine, Cytosine, and Thymine. c. What kind of bonds hold the nitrogen bases together? Hydrogen d. What is meant by anti-parallel strands? The 5' to 3' direction of one strand runs counter to the 5' to 3' direction of the other

    Deoxyribose Nucleic Acid (DNA) is a polynucleotide molecule that encodes the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and many viruses. Most DNA molecules are double stranded helices, consisting of two polynucleotide strands made up of simpler molecules known as nucleotides. A nucleotide is made up of an organic nitrogenous base, a deoxyribose sugar and phosphate groups. It is order of these bases which make up the genetic code; a set of rules, by which information is encoded within genetic material.…

    Rosalind Franklin was a chemist who made the first DNA structure in 1953. A DNA model is a model of someone's DNA. DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic Acid.A DNA strand is used to figure out a person’s physical and mental information. There are two forms of DNA an “A” form and a “B” form. (Franklin 2015) Franklin found this out by putting a DNA fiber under a x-ray machine Franklin refined herself. Franklin and Maurice Wilkins used Franklin’s x-ray photo called photograph 51 and Wilkins published first and so he got a nobel peace prize in 1962. (Franklin 2015) Franklin was then given some of the credit and was written about in the article of the newspaper.…

    DNA made up of units called nucleotides, nucleotides are made up of three molecules components, a nitrogen base, a sugar, and a phosphate (Simon, Reece, Dickey, 2010). The nucleotides are joined together by bonds between the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate of the next producing a long chain of nucleotides resulting in a sugar-phosphate backbone (Simon, Reece, Dickey, 2010) the base containing nitrogen is the only part that is variable represented by, A Adenine, C cytosine, G guanine, and T Thymine. The sugars and phosphates form the backbone of the molecule and are on the outside. The bases point inwards horizontally. The antipoarallel strands run in opposite directions and are held together by hydrogen bonds between the base pairs, these two long strands twisted and wrap around each other to form a double helix. Hydrogen bonds between bases hold the strands together; each base pairs with a complementary partner: A with T, and G with C (Simon, Reece, Dickey, 2010).…

    DNA is a structure of specific molecules and a complex mixture of chemicals. DNA is a nucleic acid, which is a group of complex compounds that can be found in all living cells or viruses, and controls cell health and function. Nucleic acids are composed of polymers and monomers, which are referred to as nucleotides. There are four different types of nucleotides that make up the structure of DNA, which are abbreviated A, C, T, and G. Covalent bonds join together nucleotides through sugar and phosphate. Polynucleotides, or a polymer nucleotide, which tends to be longer than a monomer nucleotide, contains many variations of arrangements of A, C, T, and G.…

    A DNA molecule which is the abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid is made up of precise lengthy chains of polymers and monomers and they are called nucleotides. These two (2) chains specifically which are composed of DNA strain are then molded by the grouping of the nucleotides into the polynucleotides. The nucleotide is composed of a nitrogenous base, a phosphate and a group. In DNA there are four (4) nucleotides that can be found along the DNA chain. These four (4) nucleotides are (T) thyme, (A) adenine, (C) cytosine, and (G) guanine. These four (4) nucleotides are fused together by their covalent bonds. In other words the sugar and the phosphates which composes the sugar/phosphate support of the polynucleotide.…

    DNA is a nucleic acid, which consist of long chains (polymers) of chemical units (monomers) called nucleotide. A molecule of DNA contains two polynucleotides, each a chain of nucleotides. Each nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group. Each DNA strand serves as a mold, or template, to guide reproduction of the other strand. There are four different types of nucleotides found in DNA, differing only in the nitrogenous base. DNA is contained in blood, semen, skin cells, tissue, organs, muscle, brain cells, bone, teeth, hair, saliva, mucus, perspiration, fingernails, urine, feces, etc. The four nucleotides are given one letter abbreviations as shorthand for the four bases: A is for adenine, G is for guanine, C is for cytosine, and T is for thymine.…
