Nucleic Acids
What is it? 2 types DNA and RNA
RNA vs DNA Double helix
DNA vs RNA DNA is double stranded (helix) RNA is single stranded
Structure Made of (building blocks) nucleotides 1. Sugar 2. Phosphate 3. Base
Nucleotides
Structure a. Adenine (A) b. Thymine (T) c. Guanine (G) d. Cytosine (C) Bases a. Adenine (A) b. Thymine (T) c. Guanine (G) d. Cytosine (C) e. Uracil (U) (only in RNA)
Pairings Adenine (A) - Thymine (T) Guanine (G) - Cytosine (C) TAda!!!!
