The genetic material must replicate, control the growth and development of the organism, and allow the organism to adapt to changes in the environment.

Genes are located on chromosomes.Chromosomes contain proteins and
nucleic acids. (Chromatin)The nucleic acids are
deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid (RNA).
![Page 6: Chapter 9 DNA and the Molecular Structure of Chromosomes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5681441e550346895db0bbd0/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The genetic material must perform three essential functions: the genotypic function—replication, the phenotypic function—gene expression, and the evolutionary function—mutation.

In most organisms, the genetic information is encoded in DNA. In some viruses, RNA Is the genetic material. Viroids are infectious naked RNA molecules, and prions are infectious, heritable proteins.

Viroids are infectious, naked RNA molecules.
Prions are heritable, infectious proteins that do not contain nucleic acids.
![Page 13: Chapter 9 DNA and the Molecular Structure of Chromosomes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5681441e550346895db0bbd0/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
The genetic information of most living organisms is stored in deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
In some viruses, the genetic information is present in ribonucleic acid (RNA).
Viroids and prions are infectious naked molecules of RNA and protein, respectively.

DNA is usually double-stranded, with adenine paired with thymine and guanine paired with cytosine. RNA is usually single-stranded and contains uracil in place of thymine.

DNA usually exists as a double helix, with the two strands held together by hydrogen bonds between the complementary base pairs: adenine paired with thymine and guanine paired with cytosine.
The complementarity of the two strands of a double helix makes DNA uniquely suited to store and transmit genetic information.
![Page 30: Chapter 9 DNA and the Molecular Structure of Chromosomes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5681441e550346895db0bbd0/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The two strands of a DNA double helix have opposite chemical polarity.
RNA usually exists as a single-stranded molecule containing uracil instead of thymine.
The functional DNA molecules in cells are negatively supercoiled.

The DNA molecules of prokaryotes and viruses are organized into negatively supercoiled domains.

Prokaryotes are monoploid.Most viruses and prokaryotes have a
single set of genes stored in a single chromosome, which contains a single molecule of nucleic acid.

The DNA molecules in prokaryotic and viral chromosomes are organized into negatively supercoiled domains.
Bacterial chromosomes contain circular molecules of DNA segregated into about 50 domains.

Eukaryotic chromosomes contain huge molecules of DNA that are highly condensed during mitosis and meiosis. The centromeres and telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes have unique structures.

DNA is labeled with 3H-thymidine, spread on a microscope slide, and covered with emulsion.
Molecules nearly as long as a Drosophila chromosome are observed.
These data support that each chromosome is one molecule of DNA.

Each eukaryotic chromosome contains one giant molecule of DNA packaged into 11-nm ellipsoidal beads called nucleosomes.
The condensed chromosomes that are present in mitosis and meiosis and carefully isolated interphase chromosomes are composed to 30-nm chromatin fibers.
At metaphase, the 30-nm fibers are segregated into domains by scaffolds composed of nonhistone chromosomal proteins.
![Page 58: Chapter 9 DNA and the Molecular Structure of Chromosomes](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062309/5681441e550346895db0bbd0/html5/thumbnails/58.jpg)
The centromeres (spindle-fiber-attachment regions) and telomeres (termini) of chromosomes have unique structures that facilitate their functions.
Eukaryotic genomes contain repeated DNA sequences, with some sequences present a million times or more.
