How do DNA, chromosomes, and genes work as the instructions for heredity?

1 answer:

5 0

DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid is the molecule in living organisms wherein the genetic code or genes is stored. The structural conformation of DNA in the nucleus of the cells is called chromatin and in cell division, chromatin is grouped into a certain number (46, in humans, for instance) called chromosomes.

DNA provides instructions for hereditary such that a part of DNA is transcribed into messenger RNA or mRNA for the genetic code to be transported outside the nucleus. The mRNA is then translated into polypeptides to form proteins that form specific functions in the human body.

Light energy is transferred to a chlorophyll reaction center where electrons become energized.

- A protein in the electron transport chain, pumps H+ ions from the stroma into the thylakoid space

- Electrons from the electron transport chain close to photosystem II replace the elctrons lost in photosystem I

- Electrons from Photosystem I become energized and escape photosystem I and move down the second electron transport chain.

- H+ ions flow down the concentration gradient through a channel in ATP Synthase, releasing energy in the process

- Electrons move down the electron transport chain, releasing energy

- Electrons move to an electron acceptor in the electron transport chain and electrons in photosystem II are replaced by the splitting of a water molecule

- Photosystem II receives photons in the form of light energy

- Water is split to replace the electrons in photosystem II

- At the end of the electron transport chain, the energized electrons and an H+ ion are used to reduce NADP+ to NADPH

- ATP uses energy to add a phosphate to ADP forming ATP
