DNA & REPLICATION REVIEW - 2024

Front

What part of the nucleotide holds the genetic information?

Back

The base (A, T, C, G) holds the genetic information and codes for traits.

Front

Why is DNA replication important?

Back

DNA replication is important to ensure that when new cells are produced, each receives an exact copy of the DNA.

Front

What makes each organism unique despite having the same DNA bases?

Back

The different amounts and sequences (orders) of the bases make each organism unique.

Front

What is the shape of DNA as described by Watson and Crick?

Back

The shape of DNA is a double helix.

Front

Are enzymes important in the process of DNA replication?

Back

Yes, enzymes are crucial in the process of DNA replication.

Front

What are the four bases of DNA?

Back

The four bases of DNA are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).

Front

What is the role of the sugar in a nucleotide?

Back

The sugar (deoxyribose) forms the backbone of the DNA structure.

Front

What is the function of DNA?

Back

DNA stores and transmits genetic information.

Front

What is the process by which DNA makes a copy of itself?

Back

The process is called DNA replication.

Front

What is a mutation in DNA?

Back

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence that can lead to changes in traits.
