55. The Devil is in the Details There are two families of nitrogenous bases –Pyrimidines (cytosine, thymine, and uracil) have a single six-membered ring –Purines (adenine and guanine) have a six- membered ring fused to a five-membered ring In DNA, the sugar is deoxyribose; in RNA, the sugar is ribose 55

56. The Devil is in the Details Adjacent nucleotides are joined by covalent bonds that form between the —OH group on the 3 carbon of one nucleotide and the phosphate on the 5 carbon on the next These links create a backbone of sugar-phosphate units with nitrogenous bases as appendages The sequence of bases along a DNA or mRNA polymer is unique for each gene 56

57. The Devil is in the Details RNA molecules usually exist as single polypeptide chains DNA molecules have two polynucleotides spiraling around an imaginary axis, forming a double helix In the DNA double helix, the two backbones run in opposite 5→ 3 directions from each other, an arrangement referred to as antiparallel One DNA molecule includes many genes 57

58. The Devil is in the Details The nitrogenous bases in DNA pair up and form hydrogen bonds: adenine (A) always with thymine (T), and guanine (G) always with cytosine (C) Called complementary base pairing Complementary pairing can also occur between two RNA molecules or between parts of the same molecule In RNA, thymine is replaced by uracil (U) so A and U pair 58
