What are nucleotides?

Back

Nucleotides are the building blocks of DNA and RNA, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).

Front

What base pairs with Adenine in DNA?

Back

Thymine (T) pairs with Adenine (A).

What is the role of helicase in DNA replication?

Back

Helicase unwinds the DNA double helix, separating the two strands.
