DNA Flashcards

Front

DNA stands for deoxyribonucleic acid.

Back

DNA is a type of nucleic acid macromolecule.

Front

The monomers of a DNA molecule are nucleotides.

Back

The backbone of DNA is made up of phosphate and deoxyribose sugar.

Front

DNA is not a protein.

Back

DNA is a nucleotide polymer.

Front

DNA does not store unused genes.

Back

DNA does not build amino acids to make polypeptides.

Front

The types of chemical bonds between the nitrogen bases do not determine the genetic code in DNA.

Back

DNA is not a lipid.

Front

DNA is not an amino acid.

Back

Front

Phosphate group is labeled as A in the DNA diagram.

Back

Phosphate is a key component of the DNA backbone.

Front

Hydrogen bond is labeled as C in the DNA diagram.

Back

Hydrogen bonds hold the two strands of DNA together.

Front

Thymine is labeled as E in the DNA diagram.

Back

Thymine is one of the four nucleotide bases in DNA.

Front

Create a complementary strand of DNA for AGA – CTC – TAA – GGA – CCC.

Back

TCT – GAG – ATT – CCT – GGG
