5.

Rosalind Franklin developed an image of DNA called photo 51. What was the importance of this image?

a)

It shows that DNA is a double helix

b)

It shows that DNA is a single helix

c)

It shows that the bases face outward on the strand

d)

It shows that DNA is held together by peptide bonds

6.

What does DNA stand for?

Deoxyribonucleic Acid

7.

What are the monomers (building blocks) of DNA?

a)

Nucleotides

b)

Monosaccharides

c)

Amino Acids

d)

8.

Label the parts of the nucleotide

a)

A: Phosphate

B: Sugar

A: Sugar

B: Phosphate

C: Base

c)

A: Sugar

B: Base

C: Phosphate

d)

A: Base

B: Sugar

C: Phosphate

9.

The circled part of this image represents the

a)

sugar phosphate backbone

b)

base pairing

c)

hydrogen bonding

d)

peptide bonding

10.

What type of bonds holds the DNA bases together?

a)

Hydrogen

b)

Peptide

c)

Carbon

d)

Ionic

11.

Are hydrogen bonds between bases weak or strong and why?

a)

Strong - to prevent mutations

b)

Strong- to support the DNA strand

c)

Weak - so new bases can be added to the DNA strand

d)

Weak - so they can be separated for replication

12.

A-T

C-G

b)

A-G

C-T

c)

A-C

T-G

A-U

C-G

13.

What is the difference between a Purine and a Pyrimidine?

a)

Purines have 2 rings

Pyrimidines have 1 ring

b)

Purines have 1 ring

Pyrimidines have 2 rings

c)

There is no difference

14.

15.

What is the shape of DNA?

a)

Double helix/

Antiparallel Strands/

Bases facing inward

b)

Double helix/

Antiparallel strands/

Bases facing outward

16.

What does antiparallel mean?

a)

Strands pointing in opposite directions

b)

Both strands pointing in the same direction

c)

The strands cross over each other

17.

Why is DNA antiparallel?

a)

So the bases face each other

b)

So the bases both face outward

It seals the new strand once it is made

21.

What is the role of DNA Ligase in DNA replication?

a)

It breaks the hydrogen bonds between bases

b)

It seals the new strand once it is done
