DNA and RNA Strands

In a molecule of double-stranded DNA, the amount of Adenine present is always equal to the amount of

• cytosine

• guanine

• thymine

• uracil

Sometimes, DNA is called "semi-conservative." Why might this be?

• The old strand is "conserved" and used to make the new strands

• Uracil is "conserved" in that it is only used to make the new strands

• ATP is "conserved" via the usage of facilitated diffusion

• Ligase is "conserved" in that it is denatured by the process
