1. Short definition nucleic acid
•Nucleic acid: is an important
class of macromolecules found
in all cells
2. What are the types of
nucleic acids
• deoxyribonucleic acid DNA
• ribonucleic acid RNA
3. What is between DNA And RNA
RNA is found in the cytoplasm, nucleus, and also in the
ribosomes
. DNA is located in the nucleus of a cell and in the
mitochondria
4.
5. What are the components
of DNA?
Nitrogenous base
Adenine
Guanine
Cytosine
Thymine
6.
7. DNA FUNCTION
DNA is the information
molecule. It stores
instructions for making other
large molecules, called
proteins
8. Cont…..
DNA is made up of six
smaller molecules -- a five
carbon sugar called
deoxyribose, a phosphate
molecule
10. What are the components
RNA
RNA is a linear polymer of four different
nucleotides Each nucleotide is composed of three parts:
five-carbon sugar known as ribose;
12. What are types of RNA
Messenger RNA (mRNA)
transfer RNA (tRNA)
and ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
13. What are the three
functions of RNA?
There are three types of RNA: mRNA, tRNA, and
rRNA.
mRNA is the intermediary between the nucleus, where
the DNA lives, and the cytoplasm, where proteins are
made.
rRNA and tRNA are involved in protein synthesis.
Additional RNAs are involved in gene regulation and
mRNA degradation.
14. what is the main function
of nucleic acids
Nucleic acids, deoxyribonucleic acid
(DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA),
carry genetic information which is
read in cells to make the RNA and
proteins by which living things
function. T
15. CONT…..
•. The well-known structure
of the DNA double helix
allows this information to
be copied and passed on to
the next generation.
16.
17. what are the benefits of
nucleic acids
Nucleic acids are the genetic material
for all living cells. · It is involved in the
storage and transfer of genetic material
from one generation to the next.
18. What are 3 nucleic
acids examples?
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA)
ribonucleic acid (RNA)
messenger RNA (mRNA)
transfer RNA (tRNA)
ribosomal RNA (rRNA)
