Document Summary

Nucleotide: repeating unit of nucleic acids; composed of a sugar group, a phosphate group and a nitrogenous base. Nucleoid: a structure in bacteria that contains the chromosome dna. Chargaff"s rule: in dna, the percentage composition adenine is the same as thymine and the percent composition of cytosine is the same as guanine. Dna supercoiling: formation of additional coils in the structure of dna due to twisting forces on the molecule. Messenger rna (mrna): rna that contains genetic information of a gene and carries it to the protein synthesis machinery, it provides the information that determines the amino acid sequence of a protein. Genome: complete genetic makeup of an organism; an organism"s complete dna sequence. Gene: basic unit of heredity that determines, in whole or part, a genetic trait; a speci c sequence of dna that encodes for proteins and rna molecules and in uences the production of these molecules.
