Document Summary
Chapter 3. 1 nucleic acids and the encoding of biological information. It is a linear polymer of four subunits. It is structured as a double helix composed of two strands coiled around each other with hydrogen bonding. Information stored inside dna molecules is known as genetic information organized in the form of genes. Genetic information in genes can also be transmitted from parent to offspring. Dna allows transformation is first discovered by frederick griffith. Genetic information from one dna copied to another is through the copying process known as replication. Mutation can happen when there is an error during dna replication: this is what changes genetic information in dna. The flow of genetic information from dna to rna to protein. Protein is the main element that direct all performances in an organism. Dna is the coding that sequence the amino acid subunits for specific protein.
