A single strand of DNA is coded below. What complementary bases would bind with this strand? 3’ A T G G C T A A 5’

Scientists claim that DNA is a universal genetic code that is common to all organisms. Which of the following statements supports this claim?

• DNA is made of proteins that can be transferred from prokaryotes to eukaryotes.
• All living things pass down their genetic code to their offspring.
• All living things use the same 4 nitrogen bases to code for traits.
• DNA is helical in structure and can be found in the nucleus.

How does DNA in cells determine an organism’s complex traits?

• DNA contains codes for proteins, which are necessary for the growth and functioning of an organism.
• DNA separates into long single strands that make up each part of an organism.
• DNA produces the energy an organism needs in order to grow.
• DNA folds into the nucleus of each of the cells of an organism.

A segment of DNA is represented in the illustration. How is information for a specific protein carried on the DNA molecule?

• As a sequence of nucleotides
• In the double-helix shape of the condensed chromosome
• In the ratio of adenines to thymines
• As a pattern of phosphates and sugars
