What is DNA?

Back

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for life. It is composed of two strands that coil around each other to form a double helix.

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 base pairing rule in DNA?

Back

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

Front

What percentage of DNA is made up of Adenine and Thymine if Cytosine is 26% and Guanine is 26%?

Back

24%.

Front

How many nucleotides make up a codon in DNA?

Back

A codon is made up of 3 nucleotides.

Front

What are the sides of the DNA molecule made of?

Back

The sides of the DNA molecule are made of sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate.
