DNA Review

Front

What are the monomers that make up DNA?

Back

Nucleotides are the monomers that compose DNA.

Front

What type of bond holds the base pairs of DNA together?

Back

Hydrogen bonds hold the base pairs of DNA together.

Front

What are the three components of a nucleotide?

Back

A nucleotide is composed of a phosphate group, a sugar (deoxyribose), and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is the complementary DNA strand to ATC GGC ATA?

Back

The complementary DNA strand is TAG CCG TAT.

Front

What connects multiple nucleotides together in DNA?

Back

The sugar-phosphate backbone connects multiple nucleotides together.

Front

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 base pairing rule in DNA?

Back

Adenine pairs with thymine (A-T) and cytosine pairs with guanine (C-G).

Front

What is the function of DNA?

Back

DNA stores genetic information and provides instructions for the development and functioning of living organisms.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA has a double helix structure, consisting of two strands that wind around each other.

Front

What is the role of the sugar in a nucleotide?

Back

The sugar (deoxyribose) in a nucleotide forms part of the backbone of DNA and connects to the phosphate group and the nitrogenous base.
