2.6 Structure of DNA and RNA

1. Nature of Science

   • Crick and Watson's DNA model
     • TOK
       • Shared vs personal knowledge

2. The nucleic acids DNA and RNA are polymers of nucleotides

   • Comparison
     • DNA
       • Two antiparallel strands of nucleotides
       • Adenine (A) with Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) with Guanine (G)
       • Pentose sugar
         • Deoxyribose
       • Drawing diagram
     • RNA
       • One strand
       • Uracil (U) with Thymine (T) Cytosine (C) with Guanine (G)
       • Pentose sugar
         • Ribose
