Back

It builds the new DNA strand.

Front

What is the complementary DNA strand to the following strand: ACT?

Back

TGA.

Front

Which of the following is NOT a part of the DNA nucleotide? Lysine amino acid, Thymine, Deoxyribose, Phosphate?

Back

Front

What are the three components of a DNA nucleotide?

Back

A phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases found in DNA?

Back

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

Front

How do the nitrogenous bases pair in DNA?

Back

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

Front
