What is in DNA?
DNA is made of this number of strands.
What is two?
DNA has this number of different bases.
What is four?
The shape of DNA is called this.
What is a double helix?
What is the nucleus?
T or F: Every cell in your body has the same DNA.
What is True?
This part makes up the "rung" of the ladder. (middle of the DNA)
What is a (Nitrogen) base?
The base"A" always pairs with this base.
What is T?
The purpose of DNA is to pass on this to offspring.
What is a trait?
Name one barrier between DNA and the outside of the cell.
This is how each cell only uses the DNA codes/ genes that it needs; such as a skin cell versus a brain cell. The cell does this to the genes/ DNA codes that it does not need.
What is turn off?
This part connects the base to the sides of the DNA molecule.
What is a sugar (deoxyribose)?
What is G?
The order of bases determines how a cell produces a protein. The order of bases is called . . .
What is the code?
DNA contains the codes for making protein. Proteins are made at this organelle in the cell.
What is a ribosome?
True or False: DNA can be viewed under the light microscope.
What is false? (DNA is much too small)
This part connects the sides of the DNA ladder.
What is a phosphate?
This weak bond is found between the base pairs in a DNA model.
What is a hydrogen bond?
The two strands of DNA are considered . . .
What is complementary?
DNA can't leave the nucleus of the cell because it is too large. This molecule copies the DNA code and takes it from the nucleus to the ribosome.
What is RNA?
This is the term used to properly remove DNA from a sample. (Hint: we said it before the DNA extraction lab)
What is spooling?
DNA is made of these repeating units (building blocks).
What is a nucleotide?
Write the matching strand if one side of DNA has the code ATACGC.
What is TATGCG?
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
The sugar found in RNA has this name.
What is ribose?
Name the three parts that make up a nucleotide.
What is a sugar, phosphate, and a base?
