It gives instructions for growth and development. It is a double helix made of base pairs. ]]> 2021-01-22 19:36:06 UTC https://padlet.com/p601482/1n9ebv51mwmh5sa8/wish/1115623883 p601482 https://padlet.com/p601482/1n9ebv51mwmh5sa8/wish/1135146670 Nucleotides are organic molecules in DNA. They are composed of three parts; a nitrogenous base, a pentose sugar, and a phosphate group. The phosphate groups and pentose sugars are the backbone of the DNA's double helix, and the nitrogenous bases are in the middle of the base pairs. ]]> 2021-01-28 08:05:35 UTC https://padlet.com/p601482/1n9ebv51mwmh5sa8/wish/1135146670 p601482 https://padlet.com/p601482/1n9ebv51mwmh5sa8/wish/1135181755 In DNA there are four nitrogenous bases: Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G)
A and T pair together while C and G pair together. These pairs form the middle of the DNA's double helix. ]]> 2021-01-28 08:16:14 UTC https://padlet.com/p601482/1n9ebv51mwmh5sa8/wish/1135181755 p601482 https://padlet.com/p601482/1n9ebv51mwmh5sa8/wish/1135196854 During DNA replication, DNA makes a copy of itself in the process of cell division. The first step is unzipping the base pairs with helicase, forming two strands. Onec the pairs are separated, RNA primers bind to the end of each strand. Next, DNA polymerase adds in the missing pieces of DNA. Finally, the RNA primers are removed and replaces with new bases. ]]> 2021-01-28 08:20:43 UTC https://padlet.com/p601482/1n9ebv51mwmh5sa8/wish/1135196854 p601482 https://padlet.com/p601482/1n9ebv51mwmh5sa8/wish/1139023741 Helicase is an enzyme that unzips the base pairs of the DNA double helix by breaking the hydrogen bonds between them.]]> 2021-01-29 00:22:06 UTC https://padlet.com/p601482/1n9ebv51mwmh5sa8/wish/1139023741 p601482 https://padlet.com/p601482/1n9ebv51mwmh5sa8/wish/1139027601 DNA polymerase synthesize the newly separated DNA strands by adding nucleotides. ]]> 2021-01-29 00:24:23 UTC https://padlet.com/p601482/1n9ebv51mwmh5sa8/wish/1139027601 p601482 https://padlet.com/p601482/1n9ebv51mwmh5sa8/wish/1139061542 Genes are sequences of nucleotides in DNA that form the double helix.
