6A DNA Structure Review

There are 8 components present in nucleic acids in the box. Use the DNA structure and the list of components to determine which components bond with adenine in a section of DNA?

• 1,3,5, and 6 only

• 3,5

• 2, 4

• 3,4, 7, and 8 only

Students are given data from an investigation that identified some of the chemical elements present in four different samples. Which sample was most likely DNA?

• Sample 1

• Sample 2

• Sample 3

• Sample 4

A model of the DNA molecule is shown below. The arrow indicates ---

• The bond between adjacent phosphate and deoxyribose molecules

• The junction of introns and exons in the sense strand of DNA

• The hydrogen bond between complementary nucleotides

• the junction of a codon and a DNA triplet

A segment of a DNA strand is shown. Which of these is the correct complementary DNA strand for the segment shown?

• 5' AGGTCAGGT 3'

• 5' ACCUGAGGU 3'

• 5' TGGACTGGA 3'

• 5' TCCACTCCA 3'

A student used poster board to construct this model of a section of DNA. Which statement describes this model of DNA?

• The model is inaccurate because some typical bases in DNA are missing

• The model is accurate because it contains correctly paired bases

• The model is accurate because it shows each base splitting to form a double helix

• the model is inaccurate because the base pairs are incorrect

Nitrogenous bases are located on both strand of the DNA double helix. What is the significance of the nitrogenous bases?

• The number of adenines and cytosines determines the type of RNA that will be produced.

• The amount of thymine and guanine in the DNA molecules determines the length of the genes

• the order of nitrogenous bases determines the order of amino acids in the proteins synthesized

The sequence of nitrogenous bases in DNA varies widely. The sequence of the bases in DNA is most important for which of the following?

• Providing the instructions for the traits of an organism.

• Preventing mutations from occurring during DNA replication.

• Allowing the DNA to have the shape necessary for replication.

• Helping form the sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA molecules
