2 DNA What is it?

3 DNA is an abbreviation for Deoxyribonucleic Acid is an abbreviation for Deoxyribonucleic Acid is the polymeric molecule whose chemical sequence determines individual hereditary characteristics is the polymeric molecule whose chemical sequence determines individual hereditary characteristics

4 What makes up DNA? DNA PhosphateSugar Nitrogen Base

5 What makes up DNA? Phosphates Deoxyribose sugar Nitrogen bases

6 DNA and RNA Structures

7 Creation of DNA strands Hydrogen Bonding Between Base Pairs (A to T and G to C)

8 DNA is like a ladder

9 DNA determines characteristics  The DNA bases (A, T, C, and G) make a code of letters  These letters make “words” which are called genes  These “words” make “sentences” called the genetic code  Our cells “read” these “sentences” and perform special functions
