1 Nucleic Acids Information storage

2 Nucleic Acids Monomer: nucleotides
Atoms: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphorous. Monomer: nucleotides (3 parts to a nucleotide) _______________ Nitrogenous Base Phosphate ________ _______ Sugar

3 Polymer: Polynucleotide
Bond Name: Phosphodiester linkage

4 Nucleic Acids Function: Store information Transfer information
*Genes- section of DNA that has instructions for building a protein DNA  RNA  proteins Transfer information Blueprint for new cells Blueprint for next generation DNA proteins
