DNA Deoxyribonucleic Acid

DNA Deoxyribonucleic Acid. Made By Yana Nagoga an Educator and a Mom.

CONTENTS. What is a DNA? What does it look like? What is its F U N ction Where is it located? 2. What is it made of? What is a nucleo tide ? What are the 4 types of Nucleotides? How are they connected to each other?.

00 AAALVSIS. Have you ever wondered why all of us look so different?.

What is DNA?. D N A or a Deoxyribonucleic Acid is a molecular blueprint of a living thing! Deoxy + Ribo + Nucleic + Acid.

. Amino acids. What is DNA’s FUNction. Proteins. Cell.

. 11. X X. x. x. X. A person. A chromosome. DNA. A Nucleus of the cell.

. DNA Structure. DNA= Strands + Nucleotides Strands to each other : “Come on, lets twist again!” to make it F U N ction !.

Nucleotides ( A T C G ). = Adenine = Thymine = Cytosine = Guanine = Phosphate backbone DNA.

Part two: Genes.

. A Gene is a specific section of nucleotides in a DNA molecule. The order of the nucleotides in a gene is the gene sequence, which can be written as a series of C s, G s, A s and T s..

The Longest Human Gene. Some human genes are as short as a few hundred nucleotides, but others are much longer. DMD isThe Longest Gene!.

Even though DNA has two strands of nucleotides, gene sequences usually show the nucleotides of only one of the DNA strands..

. What is a chromosome? (or ChromeAwesome ?:).

Karyotyping , like the one in the image, is an organized way to show an organism's set of chromosomes. This karyotype shows the 23 pairs of chromosomes from a human cell..
