Deoxyribonucleic Acid
DNA is found in the nucleus!!! Rememberthe nucleus is the control center of the cell
Chromatid - Single copy of condensed DNA that is coiled and wound up prior to division
Chromosomes - Two copies of DNA (two chromatids) connected prior to cell division
Deoxyribonucleic Acid
Nucleotides:
Sides of the ladder A. Sugar B. Phosphate Steps of the ladder C. Nitrogen Base * Cytosine * Guanine * Adenine * Thymine
T A
Which of our friendly organelles makes protein? Where in the cell are they? Where are the chromosomes?
So what is RNA?
R.N.A - Ribonucleic Acid
4. The DNA closes and the mRNA strand leaves the nucleus
RNA Example
TTCGAG-A -A -G -C
2. Fill in the new mRNA strand along the left side of the DNA
-T
-C
RNA Example
T-A T-A C-G G-C A-U G-C -A -A -G -C -T -C
2. Fill in the new mRNA strand along the left side of the DNA
Completed RNA
3. Write the new mRNA strand that moves into the cytoplasm
Completed RNA
1. Write the new mRNA strand that moves into the cytoplasm A A G C U C
