Study Notes
Nucleic Acids
- DNA and RNA are two types of nucleic acids in living organisms.
- DNA is the genetic material in most organisms.
- RNA is the genetic material in some viruses, but mostly acts as a messenger.
- RNA also has other roles: adapter, structural, and catalytic.
- Nucleotide structures and their linking into nucleic acid polymers were covered in Class XI.
DNA Structure and Function
- This chapter covers DNA structure, replication, transcription, the genetic code, protein synthesis, and regulation.
