Study Notes
Reproduction and DNA
- Reproduction is carried out at the molecular level through matrix synthesis.
Nitrogenous Bases
- Pyrimidine class nitrogenous bases include C and T.
DNA Structure
- Complementary pairs of nucleotides in the double strand of DNA are held together by hydrogen bonds.
- Nucleotides in the chain of a nucleic acid are connected by phosphodiester bonds.
DNA Functions
- DNA stores genetic information.
t-RNA Functions
- t-RNA transports amino acids to the ribosome.
i-RNA Functions in Eukaryotes
- i-RNA transfers genetic information to the ribosome.
r-RNA Functions
- r-RNA participates in the formation of the ribosome structure.
DNA Location
- DNA is contained in the nucleus, mitochondria, and chloroplasts.
r-RNA Location
- r-RNA is found in ribosomes and the nucleus.
Nucleosome Structure
- A nucleosome is formed by eight molecules of histone proteins and a section of the DNA molecule that makes approximately 1.8 turns around them.
Chromosome Classification
- A metacentric chromosome has arms p and q of the same length.
- A submetacentric chromosome has arms p and q of slightly different lengths.
- An acrocentric chromosome has arms p and q of significantly different lengths.
- A telocentric chromosome has one arm.
Centromeric Index
- The centromeric index is the ratio of the length of the short arm to the length of the entire chromosome.
Mitotic Cycle
- DNA synthesis occurs during the synthetic period of the mitotic cycle.
