DNA and Protein Synthesis
1.DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid The structure has 2 backbones that are made of sugar-phosphate units and the complimentary bases extend inward and hydrogen bond. The backbone strands are antiparallel and the structure twists into a double helix shape which is the twisted shape you see below. Sections of DNA are called Genes and each […]
Protein Synthesis
Transcription: The difference between mRNA and DNA is that DNA is made up with Deoxyribose sugar and mRNA is made up of Ribose sugar. There is also a difference with the pyrimidines, DNA has a thymine pyrimidine and mRNA has a uracil as a pyrimidine base. DNA has 2 backbone strands, whereas mRNA has 1 […]
