What is central dogma ?

Why is  DNA semi conservative??

1.The main difference between Nucleotide and Nucleoside is very crucial to understand the key differences between the two. They are building blocks of nucleic acid, as nucleotides consist of the same components such as a nitrogenous base, sugar and a phosphate group. The main difference lies in their molecular composition as Nucleosides contain only sugar and a base whereas Nucleotides contain sugar, base and a phosphate group as well. A nucleotide is what occurs before RNA and DNA, while the nucleoside occurs before the nucleotide itself.


2.The central dogma of biology describes just that. It provides the basic framework for how genetic information flows from a DNA sequence to a protein product inside cells. This process of genetic information flowing from DNA to RNA to protein is called gene expression.

3.DNA replication is said to be semi-conservative because of this process of replication, where the resulting double helix is composed of both an old strand and a new strand. ... Semiconservative replication would produce two copies that each contained one of the original strands and one new strand.


4.Codon is a sequence of three nucleotides which together form a unit of genetic code in a DNA or RNA molecule.

5.Genotype is the genetic makeup of an individual eg Bb. Phenotype is the physical appearance eg brown hair.

Difference :

1.A nucleoside consists of a nitrogenous base covalently attached to a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) but without the phosphate group.

on the other hands, A nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) and one to three phosphate groups.

2.Nucleoside = Sugar + Base. but 

Nucleotide = Sugar + Base + Phosphate.

2.Central dogma:  The 'Central Dogma' is the process by which the instructions in DNA are converted into a functional product.

3. DNA replication is said to be semi-conservative cobecause of this process of replication, where the resulting double helix is composed of both an old strand and a new strand. Semiconservative replication would produce two copies that each contained one of the original strands and one new strand.

4.Condon:          A codon is a trinucleotide sequence of DNA or RNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid.

5. Phenotype is the term used in genetics for the composite observable characteristics or traits of an organism. 

Brown color hair is a example of phenotype.

Difference between nucleoside and nucleotide:

nucleoside consists of a nitrogenous base covalently attached to a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) but without the phosphate group. A nucleotide consists of a nitrogenous base, a sugar (ribose or deoxyribose) and one to three phosphate groups.

Nucleoside = Sugar + Base
Nucleotide = Sugar + Base + Phosphate

Central dogma:

The ‘Central Dogma’ is the process by which the instructions in DNA are converted into a functional product.

Codon:

A codon is a trinucleotide sequence of DNA or RNA that corresponds to a specific amino acid. The genetic code describes the relationship between the sequence of DNA bases (A, C, G, and T) in a gene and the corresponding protein sequence that it encodes. The cell reads the sequence of the gene in groups of three bases.

DNA is semi conservative:

DNA replication is said to be semi-conservative because of this process of replication, where the resulting double helix is composed of both an old strand and a new strand.

It is important to know the key differences between Nucleotides and Nucleosides as they are both building blocks in the process of creation. Another essential element that acts as a building block is the presence of Nucleic Acid and Genetic code that helps in the transfer of genetic information.

Difference between Nucleotide and Nucleoside
NucleotideNucleoside
The chemical composition of nucleotide consists of a phosphate group, a sugar and a nitrogenous base.A nucleoside has a chemical composition that consists of a sugar and a base without the phosphate group.
They are one of the major causes for cancer causing agents to this very day.They are used as agents in medicine that are primarily used against viruses and cancer causing agents.
Some of the major examples of nucleotides are adenosine, guanosine etc.Some of the key examples of nucleosides are the same as nucleotides only with the addition of phosphate groups.

Thus, these are the key differences between Nucleotides and Nucleosides. If you liked this article and would like to read more, download the BYJU’s app today.  You may also want to check out:

What is the 'Central Dogma'?

The ‘Central Dogma’ is the process by which the instructions in DNA are converted into a functional product. It was first proposed in 1958 by Francis Crick, discoverer of the structure of DNA.

DNA replication is a semi-conservative process, because when a new double-stranded DNA molecule is formed:

  • One strand will be from the original template molecule
  • One strand will be newly synthesised

Question: What is the difference between nucleutide and nucleoside??
Answer: A nucleoside is insignificant for a cell and does not involve in construcing DNA. 

The nucleosides are only made up of nitrogenous bases and sugar. The nucleoside is formed by the hydrolysis of nucleotides. 

On the other side, during the process of phosphorylation, using the enzyme kinase, a phosphate group is attached to the sugar of the nucleic acid and constructs the nucleotide.
Thus through hydrolysis, the nucleotides converted into nucleosides while though the process of phosphorylation, the nucleosides are converted into nucleotides.

On the other hand,
The nucleoside is a single molecule and does not have other variants whereas based on the number of phosphate group the nucleotides can be divided into nucleotide monophosphate, nucleotide diphosphate and nucleotide triphosphate with one, two and three phosphate backbones, respectively.

Nucleotides are used to store and inherited information, signal transduction pathway and work as an energy source. 

However, the nucleoside is important constructing nucleotides thus a nucleoside rich diet is required for staying healthy.

Nucleoside = Sugar + Base. but 

Nucleotide = Sugar + Base + Phosphate.
