1. L.E. Bio. Theme 2
Nucleic Acids

2. Nucleic Acids Largest Organic polymers
Made of long chains of Nucleotides ( the “Building Blocks” of Nucleic acids)
Ex. DNA & RNA
DNA - deoxyribosenucleic acid = all of your heredity material.
RNA - ribosenucleic acid – “reads DNA

3. Nucleotide Structure Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides.
Sugar in DNA - deoxyribose
Sugar in RNA - ribose

4. DNA Structure DNA Deoxyribose sugar Bases.
AdenineThymine
Guanine Cytosine
Double stranded with base pairing
Double Helex

5. DNA is double-stranded, with complementary base pairing.

6. RNA Structure RNA Ribose sugar Bases.
AdenineUracil
Guanine Cytosine
Double stranded with base pairing
No Helex
