Document Summary

Congenital- present at birth: anything that crosses the placenta that causes a defect, it"s environmental and will not be passed on. Familial- higher prevalence in certain family lines: could be hereditary but it has not been completely proven. Nucleotide structure: a nucleotide is composed of an n-containing base, a 5 carbon sugar molecule, and a phosphate group, base. Rna- adenine, guanine, cytosine, uracil: sugar. Transcription: the transfer of genetic code information from one type of nucleic acid to another. Essential characteristics: replication of dna must be extremely accurate. The consequence of inaccurate replication is a mutation: replication us enzymatically controlled, system checks for accuracy of replication, repairs can be made to errors in replication. Replication: break hydrogen bonding between chains, replicate base pairing, enzymatically controlled by dna polymerase, occurs stepwise along dna chain. Errors in replication: occur approximately once in every 10,000,000 nucleotide pairs.
