Front

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.

Front

What base is not found in DNA?

Back

Uracil is not found in DNA; it is found in RNA.

Front

Which base pairs with Cytosine in DNA?

Back

Guanine pairs with Cytosine in DNA.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of DNA?

Back

DNA stores and transmits genetic information, guiding the development and functioning of living organisms.
