DNA
and
RNA
are the primary sources of hereditary material
View source
Genetic information
is stored in a sequence of bases in DNA or RNA, allowing transmission of genetic information from one generation to the next
View source
DNA is packaged into
chromosomes
and passed to
daughter
cells
View source
RNA molecules exhibit specific
nucleotide base pairs
View source
DNA
and
RNA
are structurally similar polymers containing
nucleotides
arranged in chain-like molecules
View source
Base pairing in DNA:
adenine
pairs with thymine, cytosine pairs with
guanine
View source
Base pairing in RNA:
uracil
pairs with adenine,
cytosine
pairs with guanine
View source
Base pairing rules are conserved through evolution and are specific for all organisms
View source
Prokaryotes have
circular
chromosomes, while eukaryotes have multiple
linear
chromosomes
View source
Prokaryotic genomes are typically
smaller
than eukaryotic genomes
View source
Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes contain
plasmids
, which are small circular extra
chromosome
double-stranded DNA molecules
View source
Prokaryotic
plasmids are found in the cytosol, while
eukaryotic
plasmids can be found elsewhere
