Transcript of Structure of DNA & RNA
Structure of DNA &
RNA
DNA Deoxyribose
Nucleic Acid Double Helix Twisted
Ladder
Sides of the Ladder
Deoxyribose Sugar
Phosphate
4 Nitrogen Bases Pyrimidine
s Cytosine Thymine
Purines Adenine Guanine
DNA Structure Cytosine and Guanine
always pair up. Adenine and Thymine
always pair up.
DNA Structure
DNAThe sequence of bases in DNA is the genetic code.Sections of DNA are coded (instructions) for the cell to build proteins.
RNA Ribose
Nucleic Acid Single
backbone of Ribose sugar and Phosphate
RNA Nitrogen Bases
Cytosine, Guanine & Adenine are the same.
Uracil replaces Thymine Uracil always pairs
with Adenine.
