DNA Structure and Function

Fill in the blanks in the passage below DNA is a nucleic acid which means it is made up of monomers called nucleotides. Nucleotides contain a deoxyribose sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen base. The backbone of the DNA molecule is made up of sugar and phosphate. The nitrogen bases make up the rungs of the ladder. The nitrogen bases are linked together by hydrogen bonds. Adenine always goes with Thymine and Cytosine always goes with Guanine. Label the picture of DNA below Use the following words: nucleotide, nitrogen base, phosphate, sugar sugar phosphate nitrogen base nucleotide Label the parts of the nucleotide below Use the following words: phosphate, nitrogen base, sugar sugar phosphate nitrogen base What is the function of DNA? Codes for proteins Carry genetic information Both of these Where is DNA found in the cell? Cell membrane Lysosome Ribosome nucleus Fill in the matching letter. Use capital letters only.
