Front

What is the primary function of DNA?

Back

The primary function of DNA is to code for proteins.

Front

What does semiconservative replication of DNA mean?

Back

Semiconservative replication means that the newly made DNA consists of one strand from the original DNA and one new strand.

Front

Can a human gene be inserted into a bacteria for protein production?

Back

Yes, a human gene can be placed into a bacteria, which can then use it to make a human protein.

Front

What is the complementary DNA sequence for TTA CCG?

Back

The complementary DNA sequence is AAT GGC.

Front

Do bacterial DNA and human DNA have similar structures?

Back

Yes, structurally speaking, bacterial DNA looks the same as human DNA.

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA?

Back

The building blocks of DNA are nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases found in DNA?

Back

The four nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), and guanine (G).

Front

How do the nitrogenous bases pair in DNA?

Back

In DNA, adenine pairs with thymine (A-T) and cytosine pairs with guanine (C-G).

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA has a double helix structure, consisting of two strands that wind around each other.

Front

What role does DNA play in heredity?

Back

DNA carries genetic information that is passed from parents to offspring, determining inherited traits.
