Front

In eukaryotes, where is DNA primarily located?

Back

DNA is primarily located in the nucleus.

Front

What are the components that make up the rungs (steps) of DNA?

Back

The rungs of DNA are made of nitrogenous base pairs.

Front

What constitutes the backbone (sides) of the DNA structure?

Back

The backbone of DNA is made of sugar and phosphate.

Front

How many strands does DNA consist of?

Back

DNA consists of 2 strands (double helix).

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

What is the shape of the DNA molecule?

Back

The shape of the DNA molecule is a double helix.

Front

What is the role of the sugar in the DNA structure?

Back

The sugar in DNA (deoxyribose) forms part of the backbone and connects to the nitrogenous bases.

Front

What is the significance of complementary base pairing in DNA?

Back

Complementary base pairing ensures accurate DNA replication and the transmission 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.
