  • DNA structure consists of nucleotides with a phosphate, deoxyribose sugar, and a base
  • Prokaryotes (bacteria) have a single circular chromosome while eukaryotes (plants, animals, fungi) have linear chromosomes in the nucleus and circular chromosomes in mitochondria and chloroplasts
  • Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) is a technique used to amplify DNA with a DNA template strand, primers, free nucleotides, and a heat-tolerant DNA polymerase
  • PCR technique stages include heating to break hydrogen bonds, cooling for primer annealing, and heating for DNA polymerase activation
  • Gene expression involves mRNA synthesis from DNA, and translation produces a protein using the instructions from mRNA
