nucleic acid
100
The location of the cell where DNA replication takes place.
nucleus
200

phosphate, sugar, nitrogen base
200
Sections/pieces of DNA.
genes
200

adenine, cytosine, guanine, thymine, uracil
300
The 3D shape of DNA.
double helix
300
The nitrogen base AND type of sugar molecule found in RNA.
uracil and ribose
300

Step 1 and 2 of DNA replication.
1. Enzymes unzip/open up the DNA.
2. Enzymes help find complementary bases and bind
them according to base-pairing rules (A-T and C-G).

The type of macromolecule of the sugar found in nucleotides.
carbohydrate
500
The type of sugar AND nitrogen base unique to DNA.
deoxyribose and thymine
500
The type of bond formed when RNA binds with DNA.
hydrogen
500
