Chapter 11 Sections 1 and 2 Quiz

Fill in the blank

There are four nitrogenous bases in DNA, two purines (adenine and guanine) and two pyrimidines (cytosine and thymine). A DNA molecule is composed of two strands. Each strand is composed of nucleotides bonded together _________ between the phosphate group of one and the deoxyribose sugar of the next.

Chapter 11 Sections 1 and 2 Quiz

Fill in the blank

From this backbone extend the bases. The bases of one strand bond to the bases of the second strand with hydrogen bonds. Adenine always bonds with thymine, and _______ always bonds with guanine. The bonding causes the two strands to spiral around each other in a shape called a double helix.

Fill in the blank

Ribonucleic acid (RNA) is a second nucleic acid found in cells. RNA is a single-stranded polymer of nucleotides. It also differs from DNA in that it contains the sugar ribose, rather than deoxyribose, and the nucleotide ________ rather than thymine. Various RNA molecules function in the process of forming proteins from the genetic code in DNA.

Chapter 11 Sections 1 and 2 Quiz

Fill in the blank

Prokaryotes contain a single, double-stranded circular chromosome. Eukaryotes contain double-stranded _________ DNA molecules packaged into chromosomes. The DNA helix is wrapped around proteins to form nucleosomes.

Chapter 11 Sections 1 and 2 Quiz

Fill in the blank

The protein coils are further coiled, and during mitosis and meiosis, the chromosomes become even more greatly coiled to _________ their movement.
