Unlocking DNA Dive Into The Double Helix!
Table of content
Hey future biologist! Ready to unravel the secrets of life itself? Let's dive into the DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) world. Think of it as the instruction manual that guides all the living things on Earth. 🌍
DNA - the double helix dance party 🎉
DNA looks like a twisted ladder, and it's known as a double helix. Picture two snakes wrapping around each other, and you'll get the idea!
Components 🧩
- Nucleotides: The building blocks of DNA.
- Deoxyribose sugar: The backbone, it holds everything together.
- Phosphate group: The connecting link between sugars.
- Bases: There are 4 cool ones here:
- Adenine (A)
- Cytosine (C)
- Guanine (G)
- Thymine (T)
Partners in Crime 🤝
- A dances only with T (they're exclusive!).
- G has eyes only for C.
These pairs are held together by something called hydrogen bonds. They're like the magnetic pull between two BFFs.
