In the double helix model of DNA, the structures labeled 3 and 4 below are best identified as:

• nitrogen bases
• deoxyribose sugars
• phosphate groups
• amino acids

In the double helix model of DNA, the structure labeled "e" below is best described as a/an:

• nucleotide
• nitrogen base pair
• amino acid group
• codon

Which of the following is NOT a possible nitrogen base in DNA?

• Adenine
• Guanine
• Thymine
• Uracil

Where in the cell does transcription of DNA to mRNA occur?

• ribosomes
• Golgi apparatus
• nucleus
• Rough ER

The diagram below shows the process of translation occurring at structure "3" below. Where does translation occur in the cell?

• nucleus
• ribosome
• smooth endoplasmic reticulum
• chloroplast
