differences between DNA and RNA
structure
Nucleotide Chain
Nucleotides are joined
together by dehydration
synthesis
The phosphate of one
nucleotide is joined to
sugar of next
nucleotide, forming a
“sugar-phosphate
backbone”
DNA Structure
•Two nucleotide
chains
•In opposite
orientations
•Held together
by hydrogen
bonds
•Twisted into a
helix

DNA Secondary Structure
The Double Helix
• Two polynucleotide chains are
wound together
• Bases are located inside the helix
• Sugar-phosphate groups are on
the outside as a “backbone”
• Bases are arranged like rungs on
a ladder, perpendicular to the
“backbone”
• 10 base pairs per turn of the helix
DNA Secondary Structure
The Double Helix
5’
3’
• Hydrogen bonding between
bases holds the chains
together
Base pairing rules:
A pairs with T
G pairs with C
• Polynucleotide chains have
opposite polarity
One is 5’  3’
Other is 3’  5’

Applying Your Knowledge
In the DNA double helix, which base is
paired with adenine?
1. Adenine
2. Cytosine
3. Guanine
4. Thymine
5. Uracil
DNA Replication
DNA Replication
DNA replication is semiconservative.
Each strand is used as a template to
produce a new strand.

DNA Replication
DNA replication requires
1. Enzymes, including DNA polymerase
that adds nucleotides in a 5’3’ direction.
2. nucleotides
3. energy
5’—A G C T — 3’
3’— T C G A — 5’
5’— A G C T— 3’
3’—T C G A — 5’
Outcome of DNA Replication
Applying Your Knowledge
1.

4.
Two new chains
Two old chains
One old and one new chain
One helix has two new chains
and one has two old chains
5. None of these is correct.
After DNA replication, what is the composition
of the new double-helical molecules?
