DNA Structure

DNA is made of nucleotides. A nucleotide is made up of a sugar, phosphate and a base.

Multiple Select

Which 3 items below make up a nucleotide?

• base

• chromosome

• lipid

• phosphate

DNA bases

The bases in DNA always pair in a specific way. A always pairs with T and C always pairs with G.

Multiple Choice
