Make sure to include your name in the post. en-us 2021-03-03 16:03:38 UTC 2021-03-05 19:33:43 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/jrodriguez497/ziwcj4f0t5alqoq4/wish/1265480440 I learned that the shape of the DNA strand is a double helix, which is in a molecular shape. Also, the nucleotides give DNA its shape from it varying nitrogen bases.]]> 2021-03-03 18:50:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jrodriguez497/ziwcj4f0t5alqoq4/wish/1265480440 https://padlet.com/jrodriguez497/ziwcj4f0t5alqoq4/wish/1266381565 Nucleotides are made up of 3 parts which are a phosphate group, a sugar group, and a nitrogen base (T,C,A,G)]]> 2021-03-03 22:58:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jrodriguez497/ziwcj4f0t5alqoq4/wish/1266381565 https://padlet.com/jrodriguez497/ziwcj4f0t5alqoq4/wish/1266382759 I learned that DNA has a double helix structure that is made of chemical building blocks. ]]> 2021-03-03 22:59:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jrodriguez497/ziwcj4f0t5alqoq4/wish/1266382759 https://padlet.com/jrodriguez497/ziwcj4f0t5alqoq4/wish/1266384977 I learned that RNA is a smaller single stranded piece of DNA. It’s made of an alternating pattern of phosphate and ribose (sugar). ]]> 2021-03-03 23:00:18 UTC https://padlet.com/jrodriguez497/ziwcj4f0t5alqoq4/wish/1266384977 https://padlet.com/jrodriguez497/ziwcj4f0t5alqoq4/wish/1267388328 The scientists determine that DNA is genetic material and not proteins through the Hershey and Chase experiment which showed that only phage DNA entered the bacterial cells but not the phage protein. Therefore, it is DNA that functions as the genetic material of phages.]]> 2021-03-04 05:43:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jrodriguez497/ziwcj4f0t5alqoq4/wish/1267388328 https://padlet.com/jrodriguez497/ziwcj4f0t5alqoq4/wish/1272532627 I learned that there are two types of nucleotides: pyrimidines and purines. Pyrimidines are nitrogenous bases such as cytosine, thymine, and uracil. It shows a hexagonal shape. Purines consist of adenine and guanine which have a pentagon+hexagon shape.]]> 2021-03-05 05:36:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jrodriguez497/ziwcj4f0t5alqoq4/wish/1272532627 https://padlet.com/jrodriguez497/ziwcj4f0t5alqoq4/wish/1274411591 I learned that RNA has different types of itself. For example, there is mRNA which carries genetic information. tRNA brings amino acids to ribosome during the the synthesis of polypeptides.]]> 2021-03-05 16:33:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jrodriguez497/ziwcj4f0t5alqoq4/wish/1274411591 https://padlet.com/jrodriguez497/ziwcj4f0t5alqoq4/wish/1274803179 After reading the text, I learned that the process of transcription involves making an RNA copy from a bit of DNA code, which is similar to that of DNA replication except that in replication, a complete and full copy of the cell's DNA is formed. The three phases of transcription, are: Initiation, Elongation, and Termination.]]> 2021-03-05 17:50:27 UTC https://padlet.com/jrodriguez497/ziwcj4f0t5alqoq4/wish/1274803179 https://padlet.com/jrodriguez497/ziwcj4f0t5alqoq4/wish/1275288855 2021-03-05 19:33:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jrodriguez497/ziwcj4f0t5alqoq4/wish/1275288855
