Front

In a double-stranded DNA molecule, which base is always equal in amount to adenine?

Back

Thymine.

Front

What are the correct complementary base pairs in DNA?

Back

Adenine pairs with Thymine (A - T) and Guanine pairs with Cytosine (G - C).

Front

What is the structure of DNA commonly described as?

Back

A double helix.

Front

What is the role of nucleotides in DNA?

Back

Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is the significance of complementary base pairing in DNA?

Back

Complementary base pairing ensures accurate DNA replication and transcription.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases found in DNA?

Back

Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G), and Cytosine (C).

Front

What is the function of DNA during cell division?

Back

DNA must be replicated to ensure that each daughter cell receives an identical copy of the genetic material.
