What is the base pairing rule in DNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is a double helix made up of two strands of nucleotides.

Front

What are nucleotides composed of?

Back

Nucleotides are composed of a phosphate group, a sugar (deoxyribose), and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is the function of DNA?

Back

DNA serves as the blueprint for the genetic information of living organisms.

Front

What is DNA replication?

Back

DNA replication is the process by which a DNA molecule makes a copy of itself.

Front

What does semi-conservative replication mean?

Back

In semi-conservative replication, each new DNA molecule consists of one old strand and one new strand.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

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

Front

How does DNA control the traits of an organism?

Back

DNA sequences code for proteins, which determine the traits of an organism.

Front

What is a gene?

Back

A gene is a segment of DNA that contains the instructions for making a specific protein.

Front

What is the role of RNA in relation to DNA?

Back

RNA transcribes the genetic information from DNA and translates it into proteins.
