DNA Structure and Replication

Which of the following units are repeatedly joined together to form a strand of DNA?

• amino acids
• nucleotides
• fatty acids
• polysaccharides

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

order of replication

• 3, 4, 2, 1
• 3, 1, 4, 2
• 2, 1, 4, 3
• 3, 4, 1, 2

A process in which DNA has the unique ability to make an exact copy of itself.

• Replication
• Translation
• Transcription

The process of DNA replication is called semi conservative because it results in

• none of these
• Two DNA molecules.  One original molecule and one with two new strands
• two exact copies with new strands
• two identical molecules, each with 1 original strand and one new.

Why does DNA replicate?

• To create another copy for the new cell
• To create a duplicate copy in case the original gets damaged
• To create a new copy to replace the damaged original

Nitrogenous bases are joined by which type of bond?

• polar bonds
• ionic bonds
• covalent bonds
• hydrogen bonds

Why is DNA important?
