What is the shape of a DNA?

• Double Helix
• Base Pairing
• The shape of you

Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine and Thymine are examples of

• DNA structure

• DNA bases

• DNA double helix

The rules of DNA pairing states that Adenine (A) always pairs up with

• Thymine
• Cytosine
• Adenine
• Guanine

The rules of DNA pairing states that Cytosine (C) always pairs up with

• Thymine
• Cytosine
• Adenine
• Guanine

The sequence of bases forms the

• Genetic Code
• DNA base pair
• Double Helix

What holds the DNA bases together?

• Hydrogen bonds
• DNA bases
• Paired bases

Why is DNA important?

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