BIO 1109 Lecture Notes - Lecture 16: Nitrogenous Base, Deoxyribose, Cytosine
Document Summary
Hydrogen bonds between these pairs keep strands together. Genetic code determined by sequence of pairs of nitrogenous bases. Each side of dna forms a template for the new daughter strand. Dna polymerases are enzymes which make covalent bonds between nucleotides on new strand. 1. enzymes start breaking hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases at origins of replication. 2. dna polymerases assemble daughter strands by matching complementary nucleotides to the parent strand. These nucleotides come from a stockpile in the nucleus. A short section of dna that codes for a protein. Specific code at a gene site, the sequence of nitrogenous bases. One allele differs from another because of different sequences of nitrogenous base pairs. Structure-polypeptide chain- sequence of 20 different amino acids. Each protein has a unique sequence of amino acids. The unique sequence gives the protein its shape and determines its function. Each gene is a unique sequence of nitrogen base pairs. If genotype is: then phenotype is: dna, dna, dna.
