molekul DNA
Gen-gen
Genes=individual segments of DNA contain the
instructions needed to direct the synthesis of a protein
Different organisms differ in their complexity have
different numbers of chromosomes and genes:
- the more complex an organism the more
chromosomes it has
- frog: 26 chromosomes (13 pairs)
- human: 46 chromosomes (23 pairs)
Tiap kromosom mengandung 1 molekul DNA, pada
manusia berukuran panjang 12 cm
Semua DNA dalam sel manusia (46 kromosom)
panjangnya 2 m dikemas dalam inti sel (ukuran: 2-3
mikrometer).
NUCLEIC ACID
- NA is one of several macromolecules in the body
(in addition to fats, proteins, carbohydrates)
- Like the other mm, NA are polymers made up of
individual monomers linked together in long chains.
- NA = polynucleotides made up of individual
nucleotides linked together.
- Nucleotide can be broken down to yield 3 components:
a sugar, a nitrogen base, and phosphoric acid.
There are two types of nucleic acids: DNA & RNA.
