DNA Structure and Function Review

Front

What are the complementary base pairs in DNA?

Back

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

Front

What determines the traits of an organism in DNA?

Back

The sequence (order) of the Nitrogen Bases determines the traits that an organism will possess.

Front

According to the Base Pair rule, which base does Cytosine pair with?

Back

Cytosine always pairs with Guanine.

Front

What is the complementary DNA strand for ATCGAG?

Back

The complementary strand is TAGCTC.

Front

In which organelle is DNA usually found?

Back

DNA is usually found in the nucleus.

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 sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is the function of DNA?

Back

DNA stores genetic information and provides instructions for the development and functioning of living organisms.

Front

What is the role of the nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

Nitrogenous bases encode genetic information and determine the sequence of amino acids in proteins.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains Thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains Uracil instead of Thymine.
