DNA
What is DNA?
~Contains info for org. growth/function
~Deoxyribonuleic Acid is stored in the nucleus
What is DNA Made up of?
~Nitrogen bases
-adenine,guanine, thymine, cytosine
~sugar=deoxyribose
~phosphate
What does DNA look like?
~In 1952 Rosalind Franklin discovered that DNA is made up of 2 chains in a spiral form: Double Helix
~ In 1953 J. Watson and F. Crick made a model
*DNA Stores info for making proteins in Genes in the nucleus
*The codes for making proteins are carried to he ribosomes by RNA (made by DNA)
What are proteins?
~Chains of thousands of amino acids (a.a.)
~Genes determine the order of a.a.
