Document Summary

Genes are the units of heredity and are made of nucleic acid (dna) Nucleic acids are polymers of nucleotides linked together by dehydration synthesis reactions. Nucleotides are the building block of molecules of a nucleic acid and are composed of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Evidence that dna is the genetic material: in a eukaryotic cell, the dna content double prior to cell division, during cell division the doubled dna is divided equally between the two daughter cells. Watson and crick (and others) discovered the double helix. Remember the structure of the monomer (nucleotide) and the polymer (single strand dna) Understanding the structure of dna: physical structure evidence, rosalind franklin (1920 1958, gifted x-ray crystallographer, lead to the double helix model, 2 strands are antiparallel. Specific-base pairing complementary base pairs the key to solving puzzle: a-t and g-c pairs, explained chargaff"s rules.
