14. Nucleic Acids- Introduction
•Nucleic Acids store and transmit
hereditary information
•DNA- Stores the information in a ‘genetic code’
•RNA carries the information to the protein
synthesizing machinery

15. Structure of DNA/RNA (1)
Three Components

As a unit, these
three components
make up one
monomer.

25. A Quick Aside (but an important
one)
What is a monomer?

26. A Quick Aside (but an important
one)
What is a monomer?
A monomer is an individual unit that acts
as a building block for large biological molecules
Monomers are nearly identical units

27. A Quick Aside (but an important
one)
What is a monomer?
A monomer is an individual unit that acts
as a building block for large biological molecules

28. A Quick Aside (but an important
one)
What is a monomer?
A monomer is an individual unit that acts
as a building block for large biological molecules
Monomers are nearly identical units
What is a polymer?
A polymer is large molecule made up many
small monomers. Think of a chain.

Nucleotides
+ =

34. A DNA Strand!

35. Two DNA Strands!
The sequence of nitrogenous bases is the code of DNA

36. The sequence of nitrogenous bases is the code of DNA
‘Base Pairing’ Cytosine + Guanine
Adenine + Thymine

37. The sequence of nitrogenous bases is the code of DNA
‘Base Pairing’ Cytosine + Guanine
Adenine + Thymine

38. Reminder
• Purines
– Adenine (A)
– Guanine (G)
• Pyrimidines
– Cytosine (C)
– Thymine (T)
– Uracil (U)
• (In RNA only)

This shows two
strands of DNA in
the form in which
DNA is present
within cells.

41. The Double Helix
This shows two

the form in which
DNA id present
within cells.
Within all of your
cells (almost).
