Draw out the following DNA sequence on a white sheet of paper along with its complementary strand. Challenge yourself by not using any notes to begin with. Use hexagon and hexagon/pentagon shapes within the nitrogenous bases to depict purines and pyrimidines. Use circles and pentagons to show phosphates and sugars in the backbones. Label the ends (5’ and 3’) and make sure to associate those ends with the correct functional group. Include the proper number of hydrogen bonds between base pairs. 3’ CCAGGTACT
Nucleotides
It is an organic molecule made up of three basic components- a nitrogenous base, phosphate,and pentose sugar. The nucleotides are important for metabolic reactions andthe formation of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) and RNA (ribonucleic acid).
Nucleic Acids
Nucleic acids are essential biomolecules present in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and viruses. They carry the genetic information for the synthesis of proteins and cellular replication. The nucleic acids are of two types: deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA). The structure of all proteins and ultimately every biomolecule and cellular component is a product of information encoded in the sequence of nucleic acids. Parts of a DNA molecule containing the information needed to synthesize a protein or an RNA are genes. Nucleic acids can store and transmit genetic information from one generation to the next, fundamental to any life form.
