BIOLOGY LECTURE ON NUCLEIC ACIDS
NUCLEIC ACIDS [DNA &RNA] There are chromosomes in the nucleus of cell,which are thread like.They are visible only during cell division.Chromosomes are uncoiled in loose network called chromatin contains DNA,RNA,& PROTEINS. DNA means DEOXYRIBONUCLEIC ACID RNA means RIBONUCLEIC ACID. DNA & RNA both are information storage devices of cell.These are two kinds of nucleic acids. DNA: It has special coded genetic programme with detailed & specific instructions for each organism heredity.[one gene one character passed to offspring]. Its model was proposed by WATSON & CRICK In 1953. It consists of linear polymers of repeating monomer subunits called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains A PENTOSE SUGAR,A PHOSPHATE GROUP,NITROGENOUS BASE[PURINE or PYRIMIDINE] A ,G ,C,T SUGAR RIBOSE in RNA ...
