DNA is a type of what biomolecule?

• Protein

• Carbohydrate

• Nucleic Acid

• Lipid

What is the monomer of a nucleic acid?

• nucleotide

• amino acid

• monosaccharide

• fatty acid

What are the 3 parts of a nucleotide?

• an oxygen group, a lipid, and a carbon base

• a phosphate group, a sugar (deoxyribose) and a nitrogen base

• a nitrogen group, a protein, and an oxygen base

Which of the following is NOT a base found in DNA?

• Adenine

• Guanine

• Thymine

• Uracil

Which of the following base pairs is paired up correctly?

• A with G

• T with C

• C with G

• C with A

The backbone of DNA is made up of (select all that apply):

• phosphate

• a deoxyribose sugar

• nitrogen base

• purines and pyrimidines

The inside (middle) of the DNA ladder is made out of?

• deoxyribose sugars

• phosphate group

• nitrogen bases

In DNA, the bases....

• A binds to T, and C binds to G

• A binds to U, and C binds to G

• A binds to C, and T binds to G

• A binds to G, and T binds to C

In DNA...

• The phosphates bind to nitrogen bases

• sugar binds to both the phosphate and the nitrogen bases

One side of a DNA sequence "ATC" would connect to the DNA sequence on the other side...

• TAG
