Front

What is the correct complementary base pairing for DNA?

Back

Adenine pairs with Thymine (A-T) and Guanine pairs with Cytosine (G-C).

Front

What two molecules form the sides (backbone) of the DNA ladder?

Back

Deoxyribose sugar and Phosphate.

Front

Why is DNA important?

Back

It serves as the blueprint for traits of all living things.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is a double helix composed of two strands that wind around each other.

Front

What is a nucleotide?

Back

A nucleotide is the basic building block of DNA, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.

Front

What role do hydrogen bonds play in DNA?

Back

Hydrogen bonds hold the two strands of DNA together by connecting complementary nitrogen bases.

Front

What is the function of DNA?

Back

DNA stores genetic information and provides instructions for the development and functioning of living organisms.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains deoxyribose sugar, while RNA is single-stranded and contains ribose sugar.
