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.
Make up your own DNA palindrome, of at least 6 bases long. Make sure it is palindromic in the correct way (hint: you need to consider both strands!)
PALINDROME:
The word 'palindrome' symbolizes number, phrase and sequence of characters from which it remains unchanged while reading both forward and backward direction. For example:
Madam, Malayalam, Dad..etc.
DNA palindrome:
DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) the genetic material comprises of sequence of nucleotides [labelled as A, T, G, C], in which the palindrome occurs when the complementary double helical strands remains same while reading in both directions of prime ends 5' to 3' & 3' to 5'.
