Learn how DNA replicates with our engaging worksheet!

What is X? DeoxyriobSugar Phosphate Nitrogen Bases Nucleotide What is W? Deoxyribose Sugar Phosphate Nitrogen Base Nucleotide What is Y? Deoxyribose Sugar Phosphate Nitrogen base Nucleotide True or False: A nucleotide is made up a sugar, phosphate and nitrogen bases. True False True or False: The backbones (outside) of DNA molecules are made up of repeating nitrogen bases and sugars. True False True or False: Replication results in two identical strands of DNA, each of which has halfthe original strand. True False Complete the sentences. a) DNA replication occurs in the nucleus.b) Adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine are the four nitrogen bases.c) In DNA, cytosine always forms hydrogen bonds with guanine.d) The sequence of DNA's nitrogen bases carries the genetic information of an organism.e) The process of replication produces a new copy of an organism's genetic information.f) The double coiled shape of DNA is called a double helix.g) In DNA, thymine always goes with adenine.h) DNA is considered semi-conservative because it contains one old strand and one new strand. Given the original strand of DNA, create the new strand of DNA. Write in capital letters, for example Thymine = T A T C G T A T A A T C G G C C G C G G C A T T A
