​What is DNA?

​DNA stores the information for making you!

​

If something wrong happens to our DNA, it can cause disease, so we keep our DNA safe in the nucleus!

Multiple Choice

DNA stores...

• information

• nutrients

• energy

• nucleotides

Multiple Choice

Where is DNA kept?

• in the brain

• in the mitochondria

• outside

• in the nucleus

​DNA is made of nucleotides

​Nucleotides have three parts:

• ​Deoxyribose

• ​Nitrogen Base

• ​Phosphate

Multiple Choice

DNA is made of...

• Happiness

• Nucleotides

• Protein

• Amino Acids

Multiple Select

Choose the THREE parts of the nucleotide.

• Nitrogen Base

• DNA

• Deoxyribose

• Phosphate

​How is information stored?

• ​DNA stores information by having a unique pattern of nitrogen bases!

• ​The deoxyribose and phosphate provide structure for the DNA, making it strong!

Multiple Choice

In DNA, what parts codes the information?

• The unique pattern of nitorgen bases.

• The deoxyribose - phosphate backbone

• The nucleotides in a spiral formation

• The protein made in ribosomes

Multiple Choice
