Why is DNA important?

• it is very small and very complicated
• it's in everything
• it serves as the blueprint for traits of all living things
• because we eat it every day for energy

What does DNA stand for?

• Deoxyribonucleic acid
• Denitrogenous acid
• Deribonucleic acid
• Diribonucleic acid

What is the shape of a DNA?

• Double Helix
• Base Pairing
• The shape of you
• Hydrogen Bonding

Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Thymine are examples of

• DNA structure
• DNA bases
