Document Summary

Dna: the genetic blueprint for all living organisms, some viruses have only rna not dna. The chains of dna ae made up of building blocks know as deoxyribose nucleotides with 3 components: 5-carbon deoxyribose sugar the prime symbol is used to differentiate the carbon atoms in the deoxyribose from the carbon atoms in the nitrogenous base . Nitrogenous base: covalent bound to the 1"carbon (a, c, g, t) Phosphate groups: covalant bound to the 5"-carbon of deoxyribose. 4 nitrogenous bases- that make up polymers of dna: adenine, guanine, cytosine and. Deoxyribonucleotides are phosphodiester bond. joined together by a covalent bond called 3"-5". Formation of this bond is key step in dna- replication and is catalyzed by enzyme called dna polymerases, prior to meiosis or mitosis. Dna synthesis in 5"-3" direction- meaning that a bond between the phosphate on the. 5" and the hydroxyl on the 3" carbon.
