Front

What is a nucleotide?

Back

The basic building block of DNA, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.

Front

Why is DNA important for living organisms?

Back

It serves as the blueprint for making proteins.

Front

What are the four nitrogen bases found in DNA?

Back

Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine.

Front

What is the role of DNA polymerase in DNA replication?

Back

It synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides complementary to the template strand.

Front

What is the function of helicase in DNA replication?

Back

It unwinds the DNA double helix, separating the two strands.

Front

What is the significance of complementary base pairing in DNA?

Back

It ensures accurate replication and transcription of genetic information.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains deoxyribose sugar, while RNA is single-stranded and contains ribose sugar.
