DNA Structure
In DNA, Cytosine (C) always bonds with this nitrogenous base.
What is Guanine (G)?
This is the site of DNA replication in animal & plant cells.
What is the cell nucleus?
This is when DNA is coiled up & visible inside the cell.
What is a chromosome?
This is the number of hydrogen bonds between Cytosine and Guanine base pairs in a DNA molecule.
What are three bonds?
This is the macromolecule that includes DNA & RNA as examples.
What are nucleic acids?
This is the shape that the DNA molecule is described as.
What is a double helix, double spiral/coil, or a twisted ladder?
This is the name of the area when the DNA molecule is opened up by breaking the hydrogen bonds.
What is a replication fork or bubble?
This is the weaker bond that holds two nitrogenous base pairs together.
What is a hydrogen bond?
This is the monomer for nucleic acids.
What is a nucleotide?
What is phosphate and sugar (deoxyribose)?
The type/category of molecule that opens the strand of DNA or adds nucleotides to build DNA strands.
What is an enzyme?
This is the type of bond in the sugar-phosphate backbone.
What is a covalent bond?
This is the type of structure of both Adenine and Guanine nitrogenous bases.
What is a double-ring?
or
What are Purines?
Eukaryotic cells such as plant & animal cells have this organelle, which contains the DNA.
What is a nucleus?
This is the name of the building blocks of DNA (it contains three molecules).
What is nucleotide?
What is TGCAGG?
This is what the cell is preparing to do when DNA replication occurs.
What is cell division or replication?
A collection of DNA that is 32% Cytosine (C) will have this much Guanine (G).
What is 32%?
This is the organelle that is the site of protein synthesis.
What is a ribosome?
This is the 3 parts of a nucleotide.
What is phosphate, sugar, & nitrogen base?
This is the word used to describe the fact that at the end of this process each DNA molecule contains one old strand and one brand-new strand.
What is semi-conservative?
The location that mRNA goes to with its copy of the DNA message
Where is the ribosome?
A short segment of DNA that codes for a specific protein.
What is a gene?
This type of cell does not have an organelle that holds or stores DNA, but rather has it free-floating in the cytoplasm.
What is a Prokaryotic cell or Bacteria cell?
