Phosphodiester bonds
Pyrimidine Sman
nitrogenous bases with one carbon ring Thymine and Cytosine
:
Purine large nitrogenous base Adenine and Guanine
with two carbon

with to
Double helix :
Two strands of DNA run antiparamel joined by hydrogen bonds
Complementary base pairing Cytosine :
makes 3
hydrogen bonds with guanine
Adenine makes 2
hydrogen bonds with
thymine
RNA : Ribonucleic acid ->
short section of transcribed DNA
↳ Uracil
replaces thymine
Semi Conservative Replication :
:
DNA helicase unzips the double helix
