Document Summary
General name of monomers that compose dna and rna; 3 structural components of each monomer; purines and pyramid inns involved in dna and rna structure; how purine di ers from pyramidine. **dna and other nucleic acids are made of nucleotides** Structure of the double helix of dna; what holds the two strands together; why dna only has at, Cg, pairs; the law of base pairing ummm. Lawofcomplementarybasepairing one strand governs sequence of the the other base. The approximate number of genes in the human genome; what percentage of the dna consists of genes; and to what extent, and in what ways, the remaining dna may serve a purpose. How dna and protein are combines to form chromatin; how the chromatin is coiled and supercoiled to t into the compact cell nucleus and minimize damage; roles of histones and nucleosomes in the organization of chromatin.
