History
DNA DEOXY RIBO NUCLEIC ACID
• A-DNA: It is a right-handed double
helix similar to the B-DNA form.
• B-DNA: This is the most common DNA
conformation and is a right-handed
helix.
• Z-DNA: Z-DNA is a left-handed DNA
where the double helix winds to the
left in a zig-zag pattern.
RNA RIBO NUCLEIC ACID
• DNA is a group of molecules that is responsible for carrying and transmitting the
hereditary materials or the genetic instructions from parents to off springs.
• Apart from being responsible for the inheritance of genetic information in all living
beings, DNA also plays a crucial role in the production of proteins.
• Nuclear DNA is the DNA contained within the nucleus and it codes for the majority of
the organism’s genomes.
• The mitochondrial DNA take part in oxidative phosphorylation for the production of
ATPs and in the synthesis of proteins.
• The plastid DNA participate in photosynthesis in plants.
• Facilitate the translation of DNA into proteins
• Functions as an adapter molecule in protein synthesis
• Serves as a messenger between the DNA and the ribosomes.
• They are the carrier of genetic information in all living cells
• Promotes the ribosomes to choose the right amino acid which is required in building
up of new proteins in the body.
