Watson and Crick determined the 3-D structure of DNA.
Watson and Crick determined the 3-D structure of DNA. They realized that DNA is a double helix
Watson and Crick determined the 3-D structure of DNA. They realized that DNA is a double helix backbone on the outside
Watson and Crick determined the 3-D structure of DNA. They realized that DNA is a double helix backbone on the outside bases on the inside.
DNA is composed of nucleotides.
DNA is composed of nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three parts.
DNA is composed of nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three parts. a phosphate group
DNA is composed of nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three parts. a phosphate group a deoxyribose sugar
DNA is composed of nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three parts. a phosphate group a deoxyribose sugar a nitrogen-containing base
The nitrogen containing bases are the only difference in the four nucleotides.
Nucleotides always pair in the same way.
Nucleotides always pair in the same way. Chargaff's Rule:
Nucleotides always pair in the same way. Chargaff's Rule: A pairs with T
Nucleotides always pair in the same way. Chargaff's Rule: A pairs with T C pairs with G
