    DNA is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and in mitochondria and chloroplasts, where it is organized into linear chromosomes. In prokaryotes, DNA is not enclosed and is often circular. DNA contains the genetic instructions used to direct protein synthesis. It transmits information to RNA through transcription. There are three main types of RNA - mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA - that aid in protein production. Nucleotides, the basic building blocks of nucleic acids, consist of a nitrogenous base, a 5-carbon sugar (either ribose or deoxyribose), and a phosphate group.

    NUCLEID ACID nucleotids

     Roles of DNA and RNA in cells


    DNA in cells
    In eukaryotes DNA is found in the nucleus, mitochondria, chloroplasts
    DNA is typically broken up into a number of very long, linear pieces
    called chromosomes
    In prokaryotes the DNA is not enclosed in a membranous envelope
    in prokaryotes chromosomes are much smaller and often circular (ring-shaped).
     From DNA to RNA to proteins
    DNA RNA mRNA
    tRNA
    rRNA
     Nukleotids a nitrogenous base
    a five-carbon sugar
    one phosphate group
     Nitrogenous bases : adenine (A), guanine (G) cytosine (C), and thymine (T)
     Sugars : ribosa mengandung gugus hidroksil
    deoksiribosa mengandung hidrogen
     Phosphate : each nucleotide has just one phosphate group
     Polynucleotide chains
