DNA
- Carrier of genetic material

- A self-replicating material in all organisms
Definition
- Found in the chromatin in the nucleus
Where is DNA?
Characteristics
Looks like a twisted ladder made up of units called NUCLEOTIDES
Characteristics
5-carbon sugar(deoxyriobse) + Phosphate group ("sides of ladder") + Nitrogen Bases("Rungs of ladder") = Nucleotides
Nitrogen Bases
4 kinds of bases:
- Adenine
- Thymine
- Cytosine
- Guanine
Nitrogen Bases
Pairs:
Adenine-Thymine
Cytosine-Guanine
When DNA Replicates:
- DNA "unzips" separating bases
- New bases pair up on old strand
- Forms 2 identical strands
