Mathes Structure of DNA (BASIC)

Front

What are the 4 nitrogen bases in DNA?

Back

Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine.

Front

What are nucleotides made of?

Back

Nucleotides are made of Sugar, Phosphate, and a nitrogen base.

Front

Adenine bonds with which nitrogen base?

Back

Thymine.

Front

According to Chargaff's rule, Cytosine always pairs with which base?

Back

Guanine.

Front

In which organelle is DNA usually found?

Back

Nucleus.

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 structure of DNA?

Back

DNA has a double helix structure, consisting of two strands twisted around each other.

Front

What are the complementary base pairs in DNA?

Back

Adenine pairs with Thymine, and Cytosine pairs with Guanine.

Front

What is the role of the sugar in a nucleotide?

Back

The sugar in a nucleotide forms the backbone of the DNA structure, connecting to phosphate and nitrogen bases.

Front

What is Chargaff's rule?

Back

Chargaff's rule states that in DNA, the amount of Adenine equals the amount of Thymine, and the amount of Cytosine equals the amount of Guanine.
