DNA replication

If the percentage of DNA is made of 30% Thymine, what is the correct percentage of Guanine?

• 30
• 15
• 20
• 60

Replicate the following strand of DNA: 
AATCATGGA

• AATCATGGA
• TTAGTACCT
• UUAGUACCU
• GGATAUCUA

The enzyme that unzips the DNA to prepare for replication

• helicase
• replicase
• polymerase
• synthase

DNA replication results in two DNA molecules,

• each one with two original strands
• each one with two new strands
• each one with one new strand and one original strand
• one with two new strands and the other with two original strands

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 DNA nucleotide is composed of three parts. Which two components make up the nucleotide backbone?

• ribose sugar and base
• ribose sugar and phosphate group
• nitrogen base and deoxyribose sugar
• deoxyribose sugar and phosphate group
  

What are the 4 nitrogen bases?

• adenine, thymine, cytoplasm, and guanine
• adenine, thymine cytosine, and guanine
• adenine, thymine, cytosine, and gylcerol
• adenine, thymine, cytosine, and glucose
