Data Table **Can be used as reference for real-life pictures and explanations below** In terms of maximizing diffusion, what was the most effective size cube that you tested? After the 10 minutes of various-sized agar cubes being in the sodium hydroxide solution, we were able to cut open the three cubes, largest being 3cm by…
Protein Synthesis: Transcription and Translation
How is mRNA different than DNA? There are multiple differences among DNA and mRNA which include: DNA having the nitrogenous base of thymine while mRNA has uracil instead The sugar in DNA is deoxyribose while in mRNA it is ribose DNA has a double helix structure (and is antiparallel) meaning it is double stranded as…
DNA and Replication
Explain the structure of DNA: Deoxyribonucleic acid is a macromolecule (nucleic acid) made up of monomers known as nucleotides which include a phosphate group, 5-carbon sugar (deoxyribose), and a nitrogenous base. There are two types of nitrogenous bases, a purine (double ringed structure – shown by the beads being double) and a pyrimidine (single ringed structure…
