DNA intro

Replicate the following strand of DNA: 
AATCATGGA

• AATCATGGA
• TTAGTACCT
• UUAGUACCU
• GGATAUCUA

Where does DNA replication take place?

• Nucleus
• Ribosome
• Cytoplasm
• Golgi Body

In DNA which is a correct base pairing?

• A with G
• G with T
• A with U
• A with T

The building blocks of DNA  & RNA consisting of a five-carbon sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen-containing base.

• Genetics
• Replication
• Nucleotides

The five carbon sugar found in DNA

• Ribose
• Deoxyribose
• Glucose

An enzyme that breaks the hydrogen bonds holding the base pairs together as it UNWINDS and UNZIPS the double helix, allowing new nucleotides to bind to the single strands by base pairing.

• DNA
• RNA
• DNA Helicase
• RNA Helicase

The bonds that hold the two strands of DNA together come from...

• the attraction of phosphate groups 
• strong bonds between  bases and sugars
• carbon to carbon bonds in the sugar
• weak hydrogen bonds between the bases

The rule stating that the bases in a nucleic acid always pairs up in the same way: A=T and G=C.

• Replication
• Translation
• Transcription
• Chargaff's Rule

The shape of DNA that is often compared to a twisted ladder is called

• single helix
• double helix

Watson and Crick were the first to suggest that DNA is _____

• a short molecule
• the shape of a double helix
• a protein molecule
• the genetic material
