Document Summary

Put these 3 components together to generate the 4 nucleotides of dna: the purine and pyrimidine nucleotides in polynucleotide chains are connected by phosphodiester bonds (note where the (cid:1007)" a(cid:374)d. The most common form of dna is called b-dna. Space-filling depiction of b-dna: the two differently-sized grooves of the double helix are shown, the major groove, the minor groove. **contain information that is important for protein binding: base pairing is specific and is mediated by hydrogen bonds, adenine bonds with thymine, cytosine bonds with guanine. Each dna strand has a defined chemical polarity: 5" e(cid:374)d (five prime end) has a free phosphate group, (cid:1007)" e(cid:374)d (three prime end) has a free hydroxyl group, opposing strands are complementary, example, for the single-stranded dna sequence: 1, 2, and 3 are all correct concerning double-stranded dna. Chromosomes are composed of proteins, dna, & rna: called (cid:862)chromatin(cid:863)
