DNA Replication🧬
-
-
DNA helicase is responsible for breaking down the hydrogen bonds between bases in DNA, it also unravels the DNA

Bases
-
-
-
Types of bases
Purines
Larger bases with a double carbon ring, bases A and G
Pyrimidines
smaller bases with a single carbon ring, bases T and C

The genetic code
-
-
DNA also contains non-coding sections called introns, these are not used to make proteins
Codons/triplets
-
-
there are 64 different codons/triplets some code for the same amino acid as there are only 20 total amino acids

RNA

Messanger RNA (mRNA)
-
mRNA is much smaller than DNA as it is only a copy of a single gene this allows it to leave the nucleus
