Geneticcode

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. Monomers are joined up by a phosphodiester bond – water given out in this reaction (condensation reaction) bases stick out to the side, bases can be in any order and this determines the gene sequence Students do not need to be able to reproduce the structures. Basic structure is adequate
  2. There are four different types of bases and they can be in any order on the DNA chain. It is this order that determines the genetic code and sequence
  3. Adenine, thymine, guanine, cytosine, adenine and guanine are larger called purines, other two are pyrimidines Phosphate and deoxyribose sugar is the same for each base used
  4. DNA has two polynucleotide chains or strands linked by hydrogen bonds A- T, C-G. Cheltenham and Gloucester and Telegraph and argus. Note the number of hydrogen bonds between each pair The specific base pairing is essential for protein synthesis and DNA replication Precise order determines the sequence in a gene and ultimately what an organism is and looks like
  5. Two DNA strands form a double helix structure. The sugar and phosphate groups are inorganic and the nitrogen base is organic – what advantage does making a helical arrangement give to the DNA – protects against water (base are hydrophobic) Two strands are antiparallel – strands run in opposite directions to each other 5’ end where the carbon 5 of the pentose sugar is nearest to the end and the 3’ end where the carbon 3 of the pentose sugar is nearest to the end. Each species is genetically different with a unique sequence. Amount of A will always be the same as amount of T and C and G will also be the same. Species have relative differences in their percentages of bases.
