DNA is made up of long chains. The shape is often referred to as…

• A single helix

• A double helix

• A double octagon

• Base pairs

• Alleles

• Genome

In the cells, DNA is organized into…

• Chromosomes

• Base pairs

• Genomic patterns

• RNA

Homologous pairs of chromosomes are…

• Pairs of chromosomes that are very different from one another

• Pairs of chromosomes that are very similar to one another

• Chromosomes that blend together to form one

• One chromosome that’s split apart into two

Replication is controlled by…

• Random luck

• Pairs of chromosomes blending together

• Watson-Crick pairing of the bases — the correct nitrogen bases are added to each side of the unzipped DNA

• Long strands of amino acids woven together to create proteins
