Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

A double helix composed of two strands of nucleotides.

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA?

Back

Nucleotides, which consist of a phosphate group, a deoxyribose sugar, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine.

Front

What is the role of DNA polymerase in DNA replication?

Back

It synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides complementary to the template strand.

Front

What is the significance of complementary base pairing in DNA?

Back

It ensures accurate replication and transmission of genetic information.
