7.1.1 Describe the structure of DNA‚ including the antiparallel strands‚ 3’-5’ linkages and hydrogen bonding between purines and pyrimidines. DNA is made up of two strands. At one end of each strand there is a phosphate group attached to the carbon atom number 5 of the deoxyribose (this indicates the 5’ terminal) and at the other end of each strand is a hydroxyl group attached to the carbon atom number 3 of the deoxyribose (this indicates the 3’ terminal). The strands run in opposite directions

2 Chapter 7- IS AT THE BOTTOM. Bernot wrote it so hopefully it is useful • Describe the structure of DNA and discuss how it facilitates the ability of DNA to act as genetic material • Compare and contrast prokaryotic and eukaryotic chromosomes • Describe the process of DNA replication as a semi-conservative process. Compare and contrast the synthesis of the leading and lagging strands in DNA replication. • Explain how the genotype of an organism determines its phenotype

Associate Program Material DNA Worksheet Answer the following in at least 100 words: 1. Describe the structure of DNA. DNA molecules are composed of two strands that form a helical ascending spiral. They fit together like the opposing teeth of a zipper and are held together by weak interactions called hydrogen bonds. These two strands is a long string of subunits called nucleotides‚ each attached to the one immediately about it and the one immediately below it to form a long chain. Each

head: STRUCTURE OF DNA Structure of DNA University Of Phoenix Principles of Biology BIO/101 Phil Clifford January 13‚ 2009 Structure of DNA Since the beginning of human history‚ people have been intrigued how traits are inherited from one generation to the next. What is DNA? DNA‚ or deoxyribonucleic acid‚ is the hereditary material in humans and almost all other organisms. Most DNA is located in the cell nucleus (called nuclear DNA)‚ but a small amount of DNA can also

chromosomes are very long compact coils of DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) that store all the information that the body inbeds such as how one looks and functions. This paper will first describe the structure of DNA; second discuss how the structure of DNA allows it to serve as the basis for inheritance‚ third examine how meiosis allows DNA to be divided into gametes and finally‚ describe how this relates to Gregor Mendel’s patterns of inheritance. The structure of DNA DNA is a thread formed by two strands

DNA STRUCTURE AND REPLICATION One may wonder how a single cell becomes two cells‚ and why this is ultimately important to life. For this essay‚ it would be much too difficult to discuss the process of cell division‚ which is the biological basis of life. That being said‚ this essay will examine more closely the precursor to cell division‚ also known as DNA replication. DNA replication is the process of copying a double-stranded DNA strand on a chromosome within a cell. The process‚ in its totality

Background DNA is an abbreviation for deoxyribonucleic acid‚ but it is usually known by its initials alone. DNA is found in practically all living organisms‚ and it is now known to carry genetic information from one cell to the next‚ and from one generation to the next. The units of inheritance‚ called genes‚ are actually sections of the DNA molecule. Nuclei of the cells of higher organisms contain thread-like bodies called chromosomes‚ which consist of DNA‚ wrapped around proteins. So understanding how
