What are the elements of a nucleic acid?
5 carbon sugar, phosphate, nucleotide
200
On which end of the DNA backbone are new nucleotides added?
3'
300
A strand of DNA is 29% Cytosine. What is the percentage of Adenine present in the strand?
21%
300
An RNA strand is 42% Uracil. What was the percentage of Thymine in the DNA strand it coded?
42%
300
Identify this nucleic acid.
Thymine
300
How does ribose differ from deoxyribose?
Deoxyribose is missing an oxygen on the 2' carbon. Because ribose has the extra oxygen, it makes it more reactive.
300
What does it mean when we say DNA is antiparallel?
The strands run parallel to each other, but in opposite directions.
400
True or False: DNA is read 3' to 5'.
False
400
What sugar is found in RNA?
Ribose
400
Identify this nucleic acid.
Uracil

What is/are the functional difference(s) between DNA and RNA?
DNA stores genetic information, while RNA is simply a means of delivering genetic information.
