All about that base
The base in which thymine pairs with in its complementary strand
Adenine-A
How many parts make up the monomer or subunit for DNA
3
Type of bond that holds the bases together
Hydrogen
How many sides does DNA have
2
What does semi-conservative mean
The DNA made is half new DNA and half old DNA
The base in which Guanine pairs with in its complementary strand
Cytosine-C
Which part of the monomer is the nitrogen bases attached
The sugar
All cells contain what important molecule that has instructions for cell
DNA
What is the shape of DNA
Double Helix
What is the first enzyme that starts the DNA replication process
Helicase
What is the complementary strand for:
AGC CAT GTA
TCG GTA CAT
The sides of the DNA ladder is made of what
Alternating phosphates and sugars
Type of sugar that DNA contains
Deoxyribose
Why must the bonds be weak between the nitrogen bases
To allow them to be easily broken
The 1st step in DNA replication is
Unzipping the DNA
Base that is missing in RNA
Thymine
The steps of the ladder is made of
nitrogen bases
Sections of DNA that can be turned on and off that gives a cell the ability to differentiate
Genes
What would an organisms not be able to do if it could not copy its DNA
Grow (make more cells) or reproduce
Why does DNA need to be unzipped
To be seperated for new bases can pair with each side
What is unique about a person's bases found in their DNA and codes for their heredity
The sequence or order of the bases
What is the monomer for a Nucleic acid called
A nucleotide
DNA has the instructions for making what important molecule
Protein
Why is it important for DNA to make copies
So each new cell gets an exact copy of the DNA
What are the building blocks used to make the new strand of DNA
Nucleotides
