DNA Replication
DNA Deoxyribonucleic Acid Polymer of nucleotides Each nucleotides has 3 parts:
Nitrogenous bases
N. bases are the “letters” in the genetic code Sugar phosphate backbone is the “paper” Genetic code is the order of bases!
Genetic Code What is the function? What is a codon? How many codons?
Genetic Code
