DNA is a polymer made of repeating DNA is a polymer made of repeating subunits called nucleotides.subunits called nucleotides.
Nucleotides have three parts: a simple Nucleotides have three parts: a simple sugar, a phosphate group, and a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.nitrogenous base.

Sugar (deoxyribose)
Nitrogenous base
The structure of nucleotidesThe structure of nucleotides
In DNA, there are four possible In DNA, there are four possible nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), guanine nitrogenous bases: adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T).(G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T).
Adenine (A) Guanine (G) Thymine (T)Cytosine (C)
Base Pairing Rule
Always TogetherAdenine always pairs with Thymine
Cytosine always pairs with Guanine
In DNA, the In DNA, the amount of amount of adenine is adenine is always equal to always equal to the amount of the amount of thymine, and the thymine, and the amount of amount of guanine is guanine is always equal to always equal to the amount of the amount of cytosine.cytosine.

DNA ReplicationDNA Replication
The process in which DNA makes an The process in which DNA makes an identical copy of itself.identical copy of itself.
An enzyme unzips the DNA An enzyme unzips the DNA molecule, complementary base pairs molecule, complementary base pairs are added to each side of the are added to each side of the separated strands producing two separated strands producing two identical DNA molecules.identical DNA molecules.

Protein productionProtein production
DNA contains the information used DNA contains the information used to produce proteins.to produce proteins.
Proteins are long chains of amino Proteins are long chains of amino acidsacids
• The sequence of nucleotides in each gene contains information for assembling the string of amino acids that make up a single protein.
3-Types of RNA3-Types of RNA
Messenger RNA (mRNA)Messenger RNA (mRNA) Takes Takes info from nucleus to the ribosome. info from nucleus to the ribosome. Contains the Contains the codoncodon..
Transfer RNA (tRNA) Transfer RNA (tRNA) Brings Brings amino acids with complementary amino acids with complementary base pairs to the mRna at the base pairs to the mRna at the ribosome. Contains the ribosome. Contains the anticodonanticodon..

RNA ProcessingRNA Processing
Before the mRNA strand can leave Before the mRNA strand can leave the nucleus following transcription, the nucleus following transcription, the introns (parts that do not code) the introns (parts that do not code) are cut out leaving only the exons are cut out leaving only the exons (parts that code for proteins)(parts that code for proteins)

Any agent that can cause a change in Any agent that can cause a change in DNA is called a DNA is called a mutagenmutagen..
Mutagens include radiation, chemicals, Mutagens include radiation, chemicals, and even high temperatures.and even high temperatures.
