Ribonucleic Acid (RNA): An Overview
Article Shared by
The below mentioned article provides an overview on Ribonucleic Acid (RNA). In broad features, the chemistry of RNA is comparable to the chemistry of DNA. The chemical analysis shows the following two main differences in the polynucleotide chains of DNA and RNA: (i) The sugar in RNA is ribose whereas it is deoxyribose in DNA. […]

In this article we will discuss about the replication of eukaryotic chromosome. Taylor in 1958 used radioactive thymidine (3H-thymidine) to label Viciafaba root tip chromosomes. He showed that the chromosomes replicated in a semiconservative manner, and proposed that each chromatid was made up of a single DNA molecule. Thus each sister chromatid is composed of […]
