Chapters 4 Supplemental Instruction Iowa State University Leader: Course: Instructor: Date: Nur Bio 212 Kukday Jan 21, 2016 Ch. 4 Nucleic Acids Define: Deoxyribonucleic Acid Deoxyribonucleotide Purines Ribonucleic Acid Ribonucleotide Antiparallel Phosphodiester Bond Condensation Reaction Double Helix Nucleotide Pyrimidines Ribozymes 1. What is the name of the structure shown below? Define its 3 components. 2. Which one of the below is the sugar of RNA and which of DNA? 3. What characteristics make a ribonucleotide more reactive than a deoxyribonucleotide? 4. A __________ reaction occurs between nucleotides to make a __________ bond. a. What two functional groups of nucleotides are involved in this bond? b. In what direction does the bond form? (Hint: 3’ to 5’ or 5’ to 3’?) 5. A __________bond is formed between complementary base pairs of a DNA double-helix. _________ are RNAs that have enzymatic function. 6. A DNA molecule has a cytosine content of 30%. What percent would be the uracil content of its RNA? Critical Thinking We know that two strands of DNA form a double helix when they bond via hydrogen bonds. Regions in DNA rich in G and C nucleotides are harder to break apart. What might be the reason?
