Elements Nucleic Acids Contain • C, H, O,N, P
Nucleotides: Monomers of Nucleic Acids nitrogenous
Nucleotides: 3 parts • 5-C sugar • Phosphate Base • Nitrogenous Base A, T, C, G
Sing Along Songs - Row, Row, Row Your Boat • We love DNA • Made of nucleotides • Sugar, Phosphate, and a base • Bonded down one side • Adenine with thymine make a lovely pair • Cytosine without guanine would feel very bare.
4 Nitrogenous Bases • A = adenine • T = thymine • C = cytosine • G = guanine
Base Pairing • A – T • C - G
RNA and DNA • RNA is single stranded • DNA is double stranded
SNEAK PREVIEW • DNA molecule • Sections of it are genes • Genes are the codes that make specific amino acids that link together to make a protein
Hydrogen Bonds • Join nucleotides together
