What is DNA Polymerase? Firstly, we should consider the fact that DNA replication happens in a semiconservative way, meaning that each strand acts as a template for a new strand synthesis, and thus make a double-stranded DNA. One strand is a parent strand and the other is newly synthesized. DNA … Read more
RNA Definition RNA (Ribonucleic acid) is a single-stranded nucleic acid molecule and made up of ribonucleotides. A ribose nucleotide in the chain of RNA consists of a ribose sugar, phosphate group, and a base. In each ribose sugar, one of the four bases is added: Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Cytosine … Read more
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic acid) Definition Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is the heredity material found in humans and all living organisms. It is a double-stranded molecule and has a unique twisted helical structure. DNA is made up of nucleotides, each nucleotide has three components: a backbone made up of a sugar (Deoxyribose) and … Read more
