Document Summary

Dna and its ability to replicate is what unites all living beings. Information required to build an organism: dna associates with histones (proteins, forms chromatin, synthesis of rna. Nucleolus: condensed dna (many copies, genetic information for ribosome synthesis, site of ribosome synthesis. Increasing trend with genome size and organism complexity: the contrary is not true, ex: amoeba has largest genome size, but is a simple organism, minimum genome size for life seems to be 500 nucleotides. Nucleotide function: genetic information (dna, protein synthesis (rna, energy (atp, gtp, signaling (camp, coenzymes. Nucleotides: pentose sugar, nitrogenous base, phosphate group. Nucleosides: pentose sugar, nitrogenous base, lack of phosphate group. Know how to draw and number all bases. Bases are linked to sugar through n-glycosidic bond. 1, 2, or 3: 3. 4 nm per complete turn, 0. 34 nm between each nucleotide, 2 nm large, 10 nucleotides per turn (cid:1007)" to 5" phosphodiester (cid:271)o(cid:374)ds. Phosphodiester bonds are i(cid:374) the directio(cid:374) 3" to 5".
