Document Summary

Two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (dna) sugar is deoxyribose, ribonucleic acid (rna) sugar is ribose. Both are polymers called polynucleotides": monomer unit is a nucleotide. Two types: pyrimidines one ring cytosine (c) thymine (t) dna only uracil (u) rna only, purines two ring. Known information: dna was made of nucleotide polymer, sugar-phosphate-sugar-phosphate backbone, chargaff"s rules. # of g = # of c: some sort of helix. Second model was a double helix with bases on the outside. Then they got a copy of photo 51". * sugar phosphate backbone on the outside, bases facing inward. Dna prokaryotes: single, circular, ds piece eukaryotes, several, linear, ds pieces, humans - 46 chromosomes and ~ 6 billion base pairs. Dna content is duplicated in s-phase of cell cycle. In humans, takes a few hours for complete replication of dna. Takes many enzymes (~ 12) and is similar for prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Semi-conservative each parent strand serves as a template for daughter strand.
