What is nucleic acids macromolecules ?Nucleic acids contain information for making all the body's proteins and there are two types that exits which are : DNA RNA
Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides which are the monomers. Nucleotides is one of the structural components of DNA and RNA.Nucleotides are joined by sugars & phosphates on the side.HelpEscapeInsert ParagraphUndo the last commandRedo the last commandTabUntabSet a bold styleSet a italic styleSet a underline styleSet a strikethrough styleClean a styleSet left alignSet center alignSet right alignSet full alignToggle unordered listToggle ordered listOutdent on current paragraphIndent on current paragraphChange current block's format as a paragraph(P tag)Change current block's format as H1Change current block's format as H2Change current block's format as H3Change current block's format as H4Change current block's format as H5Change current block's format as H6Insert horizontal ruleShow Link DialogSummernote 0.8.18 · Project · Issues
Each DNA & RNA nucleotide has one of the following bases: DNA nucleotide: RNA nucleotide: –Adenine (A) - Adenine (A) –Guanine (G) - Guanine (G) –Thymine (T) - uracil (U) –Cytosine (C) - Cytosine (C)
Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) 🧬:- sugar deoxyribose - bases : C, G, A, T - 2 strands : backbone, nucleotide, and bases- permanent carrier of genetic information - two strands of DNA join together to form a double helix.
Ribonucleic Acid (RNA) : - sugar ribose - Bases: C, G, A, U- 1 strand: backbone, nucleotide, and bases- temporary carrier of genetic information. - Ribose sugar has an extra –OH or hydroxyl group it has the base uracil (U) instead of thymine (T) Click To EditRibonucleic Acid (RNA) : HelpEscapeInsert ParagraphUndo the last commandRedo the last commandTabUntabSet a bold styleSet a italic styleSet a underline styleSet a strikethrough styleClean a styleSet left alignSet center alignSet right alignSet full alignToggle unordered listToggle ordered listOutdent on current paragraphIndent on current paragraphChange current block's format as a paragraph(P tag)Change current block's format as H1Change current block's format as H2Change current block's format as H3Change current block's format as H4Change current block's format as H5Change current block's format as H6Insert horizontal ruleShow Link DialogSummernote 0.8.18 · Project · Issues
Nucleic acids function : - Stores all hereditary information - Carries protein-coding instructions from DNA to cells that need to make proteins.
