Structure of DNA
The shape of DNA.
What is a double helix?
DNA Replication takes place here in eukaryotic cells.
What is the nucleus?
This is the variable that I manipulate in an experiment.
What is the independent variable?
The type of organisms that contain DNA.
What are ALL LIVING THINGS?!
The most simple kind of cell (example: prehistoric bacteria at the site of an active volcano).
What are prokaryotes?
The broader term for Cytosine (C), thymine (T), adenine (A), and guanine (G).
What are nucleotide bases?
DNA Replication occurs in this phase of the cell cycle, before mitosis.
What is Interphase?
This is the variable that RESULTS from manipulation in an experiment.
What is the nucleus?
More complex cells, containing a full set of organelles.
What are eukaryotes?
The type of bonds that exist in a DNA molecule.
What are hydrogen bonds?
What is the enzyme that unzips the DNA strand?
What is helicase?
This is a variable in an experiment that must not change under any conditions.
What is/are the control variable(s)?
This is where DNA is located in prokaryotic cells.

What is thymine?
Enzyme that adds complementary nucleotides to make a new strand of DNA.
What is DNA polymerase?
This is the experimental variable shown on the x axis of a graph.
What is the independent variable?
The part of the DNA molecule that links the phosphate group and the deoxyribose sugar.
What is the sugar phosphate backbone?
Chargaff's Rule states ____.
What is "the concentration for each base in a base pair is always equal to its mate, so the concentration of adenine equals the concentration of thymine, for example."
