Back

DNA molecule.

Front

Example of the make-up of a nucleotide found in DNA: ribose + phosphate group + thymine(base), ribose + phosphate group + uracil(base), deoxyribose + phosphate group + uracil(base), deoxyribose + phosphate group + cytosine(base)

Back

Front

DNA replication results in two DNA molecules, _____________________________.

Back

each with one new strand and one original strand.

Front

During DNA replication, a DNA strand that has the bases ATTCCAGCGTGA produces a strand with the bases.
