• phosphate group

• phosphate group, pentose, and a nitrogenous base

DNA forms a

• double helix
• quadruple helix
• triple helix
• single strand

the importance of the nucleotide sequence in DNA

• The color of the DNA molecule
• The temperature at which DNA is stored
• The most fundamental level of knowledge of a gene or genome

• The number of chromosomes in an organism

different kinds of nitrogenous bases.

• Carbon and Oxygen
• Protein and Lipid
• Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine

• DNA and RNA

base pair rules for dna

• Adenine (A) pairs with Guanine (G), and Thymine (T) pairs with Cytosine (C)
• Adenine (A) pairs with Cytosine (C), and Thymine (T) pairs with Guanine (G)
• Adenine (A) pairs with Uracil (U), and Guanine (G) pairs with Thymine (T)
• Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T), and Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C)

what is the process of DNA replication.

• Playing a video game, watching TV, and going for a walk
• Unwinding of the DNA double helix, synthesis of new complementary strands, and proofreading and correction of errors.
• Sweeping the floor, washing the dishes, and taking out the trash
• Baking a cake, frosting it, and decorating with sprinkles

what is DNA polymerase

• An enzyme that helps in the synthesis of DNA molecules
• A type of carbohydrate found in plants
• A type of protein found in the cell membrane
• A hormone that regulates blood sugar levels

what is replication fork

• A type of clothing accessory
