Document Summary

Deoxyribonucleic acid dna is the molecule that holds a cell"s genetic material, which is the information passed from parent to offspring and is required to produce and organism. Ribonucleic acid (rna) has several different functions; the basic ones being: Acting as a template from which proteins are produced (mrna) Along with proteins, forming the ribosome and catalyzing protein synthesis. Carrying amino acids to growing peptide chain during protein synthesis (trna) Dna and rna are linear polymers composed of a monosaccharide, a nitrogenous base, Dna is composed to deoxyribonucleotide monomers; rna of ribonucleotide (rrna) and a phosphate group monomers. Ribonucleotides contain the pentose ribose, deoxyribonucleotides contain deoxyribose which means that the 2" carbon does not bear a hydroxyl group. There are two types of nitrogenous bases: purines and pyrimidines; both are planar and. Purines found in dna and rna are adenine (a) and guanine (g) and add via the 1" carbon of ribose, or the 9th position nitrogen of deoxyribose.
