Aims of the Molecular Biology courseTo study the properties of genetic material.To understand the structure of DNA and its
organization in chromatin.To understand the structure of RNA and its types.To understand the of DNA replication.To understand the key features of gene.To study the gene expression: Transcription in
prokaryotic cells.To study the gene expression: Transcription in
eukaryotic cells.To study the gene expression: Translation in
prokaryotic cells.To study the gene expression: Translation in
eukaryotic cells.

Required properties of a genetic material:
1) It must contain information that control the synthesis of protein and function.
2) It must be able to self-replicate.3) It must be located in the chromosomes, which
had been found to carry traits from one generation to the next.Types of genetic materials:
1) DNA: is the genetic material in most organisms, such as humans, animals, plants, viruses, and bacteria.
2) RNA: in some viruses, RNA serves as the genetic material.
1) DNA (deoxyribonuclic acid)
2) RNA (ribonuclic acid)
Types of nucleic acids
The structure of nucleoside and nucleotide
Nucleoside= nitrogen base + sugarNucleotide= nitrogen base + sugar +
phosphte
The structure of the four nucleotides
A polymer of nucleotides
The Watson-Crick model
Hydrogen bonds
Polarity of the DNA strand
