Front

What base pairs with adenine during DNA replication?

Back

Thymine (T) pairs with Adenine (A).

Front

What base pairs with cytosine during DNA replication?

Back

Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C).

Front

What is the process called when an exact copy of each chromosome is made before cell division?

Back

Replication.

Front

What is the role of light in chlorophyll production?

Back

Light is required for chlorophyll genes to be expressed.

Front

What determines the expression of a trait in an organism?

Back

The arrangement of amino acids in the synthesized protein.

Front

What directly determines the genetic traits of an organism?

Back

The sequence of bases in DNA molecules.

Front

What is the complementary base pairing rule in DNA?

Back

Adenine pairs with Thymine, and Cytosine pairs with Guanine.

Front

What is the significance of the sequence of bases in DNA?

Back

It encodes the genetic information that determines traits.

Front

What happens to chlorophyll production in plants kept in darkness?

Back

They produce no chlorophyll and appear white.
