History Behind DNA by Emmanuel Vital https://padlet.com/1028110/qxbupjf9vyn en-us 2018-04-03 17:59:17 UTC 2018-04-05 15:23:37 UTC hello@padlet.com Gregor Mendel (1865) 1028110 https://padlet.com/1028110/qxbupjf9vyn/wish/248242105 Gregor Mendel's work is important because he´s the one that came up with the modern genetics and presented his research on experiments in plant hybridization which would show that traits from parents are passed down to their offspring.

With examining the X-rays, she realized that the phosphates on the outside appeared to be a helical structure.

Then showing how hydrogen bonds pair the A-T and C-G bases.

This method is now used all around the world to determine the order of basis in a strand of DNA. This happens when special enzymes are used to combine small pieces of DNA, which end when a chosen “terminating” base is added to the stretch of DNA being synthesized

Every nucleotide has a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. The 4 types that make up the nitrogen base are (A)Adenine, (T) thymine, (G) guanine and (C) cytosine. Depending on what order these are in, it’s what determines the genetic code.

The 3 main parts of Nucleotides are, nitrogenous base, pentos sugar, and the phosphate group.

There are four different types of nitrogenous bases (A, G, C, T). Which then the nucleotides are all connected to each other by covalent bonds in each strand of DNA.
