Document Summary
How to assemble a living thing: accumulation of organic molecules, catalyze reactions (rna used, reproduce from stored genetic info (rna used, separate the living thing from the outside environment. Just add fat and protein to water then shake. Sugar is responsible for forming the backbone of dna. Three bonds between g-c: adenine and thymine always form tow hydrogen binds, guanine and cytosine always form three hydrogen bonds, chargaff"s rule. Dna is double helix of two nucleotide strands. Complementary base pairs hold the tow dna strands together. Wilkins and rosalind franklin knew that dna forms a helix by the patterns seen in x-ray. The order of nucleotides in dna molecule can encode a large amount of information. Dna replication: separation od parental dna helix, incorporation of complimentary, 2 daughter helices. Proteins catalyzes the reaction: one strand replicated as continuous segment enzyme: dna polymerase- the protein that speed up a chemical reaction. And genes encode the information [n (the blueprint)
