AP Biology
Nucleic Acids Function:
store & transmit hereditary information
Examples: RNA (ribonucleic acid) DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid)
Structure: monomers = nucleotides

AP Biology
Nucleotides 3 parts
nitrogen base (C-N ring) pentose sugar (5C)
ribose in RNA deoxyribose in DNA
phosphate (PO4) group
Are nucleic acidscharged molecules?

AP Biology
RNA & DNA RNA
single nucleotide chain
DNA double nucleotide chain
N bases bond in pairs across chains
spiraled in a double helix double helix 1st proposed as structure of DNA
in 1953 by James Watson & Francis Crick (just celebrated 50th anniversary in 2003!)

AP Biology
Types of nucleotides 2 types of nucleotides
different nitrogen bases purines
double ring N base adenine (A) guanine (G)
pyrimidines single ring N base cytosine (C) thymine (T) uracil (U)

AP Biology
Building the polymer
![Page 8: AP Biology HELIXHELIX AP Biology 2006-2007 Nucleic Acids Information storage.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d0a5503460f949dc6ce/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
AP Biology
Nucleic polymer Backbone
sugar to PO4 bond new base added to sugar of
previous base polymer grows in one direction
N bases hang off the sugar-phosphate backbone
Dangling bases?Why is this important?
![Page 9: AP Biology HELIXHELIX AP Biology 2006-2007 Nucleic Acids Information storage.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d0a5503460f949dc6ce/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
AP Biology
Pairing of nucleotides Nucleotides bond between
DNA strands H bonds purine :: pyrimidine A :: T
2 H bonds G :: C
3 H bonds
Matching bases?Why is this important?
![Page 10: AP Biology HELIXHELIX AP Biology 2006-2007 Nucleic Acids Information storage.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062714/56649d0a5503460f949dc6ce/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
AP Biology
Information polymer Function
series of bases encodes information like the letters of a book
stored information is passed from parent to offspring need to copy accurately
stored information = genes genetic information
Passing on information?Why is this important?

AP Biology
DNA molecule Double helix
H bonds between bases join the 2 strands A :: T C :: G
H bonds?Why is this important?
