DNA Structure and Function

Which of the following is not a component of DNA?

• 5 Carbon Sugar
• Phosphate Group
• Carbon Base
• Nitrogen Base

Which of the following is not a nitrogen base found in DNA?

• Thymine
• Uracil 
• Guanine
• Adenine

According to Chargaff's rule, Cytosine always pair with

• Adenine
• Uracil
• Thymine
• Gaunine

What is the significance of the sequence (order) of the Nitrogen Bases in DNA?

• The order of the Nitrogen Bases determines the number of chromosomes present in an organism.
• The order of the Nitrogen Bases determines the traits that an organism will possess (have).
• The order of the Nitrogen Bases determines the gender of an organism.
• The order of the Nitrogen Bases determines whether an organism is abiotic biotic.
