Document Summary
Sequence: specific arrangement of bases within a gene. Polarity molecules of nucleic acids have this. Bases with distinct ends "5 and "3 determined by structure of the nucleic acid. Meiosis: how we make gametes (egg and sperm cells); segregate daughter cells to give information to the next generation. Mitosis: how one cell divides to make two genetically identical daughter cells. Draw a nucleotide and a dna or rna polymer. Read the protein sequence from a mrna sequence, given the genetic code table, and vice versa. Table tells us how we know what protein we have when we are given a sequence of nucleotides. Structural proteins give cells the proper shape to carry out their functions. Axons of neural cells to communicate from spinal cord to muscle to maintain structure. Genes" nucleic acid sequence encode information to build these proteins. Draw a nucleotide, the basic structural unit of the nucleic acid, dna. Label the three components of the dna nucleotide.
