DNA and Protein
DNA is the genetic material
Proteins cannot transform strains, only DNA can
Hershey and Chase experiment confirmed DNA as genetic
material
Ribose and deoxyribose differ in presence of oxygen on
second carbon atom
The bond between nitrogen bases in DNA is called
glycosidic bond
DNA is equal to total number of base pairs multiplied by
inter-nucleotide distance (3.4 nanometers)
DNA Stability and Variation
DNA should:
Replicate itself
Provide for slow changes and variation
Be stable both structurally and chemically
RNA mutates faster than DNA
Nucleosomes and Bacteria
Nucleosomes:
