Front

What does DNA stand for?

Back

Deoxyribonucleic Acid

Front

What is the shape of DNA?

Back

Double helix

Front

What are the components that bond with adenine in a section of double-stranded DNA?

Back

3 and 5 only

Front

What is a nucleotide?

Back

The basic building block of DNA, consisting of a phosphate group, a sugar (deoxyribose), and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is a hydrogen bond in DNA?

Back

A weak bond that connects complementary nitrogenous bases (adenine with thymine, and guanine with cytosine) in the DNA double helix.

Front

Where is the genetic code primarily located?

Back

Nucleotides in DNA.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of the phosphate group in DNA?

Back

It forms the backbone of the DNA structure, linking the sugar molecules.

Front

What is the function of DNA?

Back

To store and transmit genetic information.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains deoxyribose sugar, while RNA is single-stranded and contains ribose sugar.
