1 Nucleic Acids

2 What is it? 2 types DNA and RNA

3 RNA vs DNA Double helix

4 DNA vs RNA DNA is double stranded (helix) RNA is single stranded

5 Structure Made of (building blocks) nucleotides 1. Sugar 2. Phosphate
3. Base

6 Nucleotides

7 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)

8 Pairings Adenine (A) - Thymine (T) Guanine (G) Cytosine (C) TAda!!!!

9 DNA Nucleotide

10 What does it do? Stores genetic information 2. Makes proteins
