Nucleic acids: history
NUCLEIC ACIDS: HISTORY Johannes Fridrich Miescher, a
Swiss biologist who discovered a protamine in the sperms of salmon in 1870.
He also isolated nucleic acids from the nuclei of pus cells (dead white blood cells) in 1869 at the university of tubingen in Germany
Later also isolated from the sperms of salmon fish, He Called As ‘Nuclein’
It Was Called Nucleic Acids By Altman

Can you think of difference between the
Nucleotides and nucleosides Ribose and deoxyribose sugar Purine and pyrimidine bases.
TYPES OF NUCLEOSIDE
TYPES OF NUCLEOTIDE
DNA
DNAEUKARYOTIC DNA
NUCLEAR DNA
ORGANELLAR DNA
PROKARYOTIC DNAMAIN / CHROMOSOMAL DNA
EXTRACHROMOSOMAL DNA/ PLASMIDS
NUCLEAR DNA EXTRA NUCELAR DNA
Found in the nucleus
Found in the cell organelles like
mitochondria and chloroplast
Linear and double stranded
Circular and double stranded
Associated with the inheritance/here
dity
Associated with replication of mitochondria and
chloroplasts
EUKARYOTIC NUCLEAR DNA
EUKARYOTIC NUCLEAR DNA
EUKARYOTIC NUCLEAR DNA For Eukaryotic Cells, Number Of DNA Molecules Corresponds To Number Of Chromosomes Per Cell
DNA Content Is Constant In All Somatic Cells (2n) Of A Given Species
The Gametes (n) Have Half The Amount Of DNA As They Contain Half The Number Of Chromosomes
NEET ALERTThe length of DNA is usually defined as number of nucleotides (or a pair of nucleotides referred to as base pairs) present in it.
A haploid content of human DNA is 3.3х109 bp
Escherichia coli has 4.6 х106 bp
PROKARYOTIC DNA
PROKARYOTIC DNA
PROKARYOTIC DNA
Main/Chromosomal DNA
Found in the cytoplasm attached to the cell membrane
Circular and double stranded
Responsible for inheritance/heredity
Extra-chromosomal DNA
Circular and double stranded but not attached to the cell membrane
Responsible for the additional properties like toxicity resistance, antibiotic resistance etc
Chromosomal DNA
Plasmid DNA
