DNA & REPLICATION Quiz

DNA Structure Freebie: #4 is "base pair" deoxyribose nitrogen base nucleotide base pair hydrogen bonds phosphate group What is the function of DNA in cells? Stores transmits genes and instructions protein-building Uses sugars to make the ATP used in cellular respiration. It stores complex molecules such as proteins and amino acids. Where is DNA found in eukaryotic cells? In the cytoplasm In vacuoles In the nucleus In the golgi apparatus Which of the following is the monomer of DNA? proteins nucleotides amino acids lipids What forms the sides of the DNA ladder (choose two)? nucleotides ATP deoxyribose phosphates What is the name of the bonds that holds DNA nucleotides together? phosphate bond hydrogen bond amino acid bod peptide bond Base pairs Match the following base pairs. Adenine Thymine Cytosine Guanine DNA replication Using uppercase letters, write the complementary DNA sequence for each sequence given. For example, CGC is complementary to GCG AAT TTA GCA CGT CAT GTA TGC ACG CCA GGT Select the correct words in the following paragraph: DNA and RNA are the two nucleic acids found in living cells. In eukaryotes, DNA is found in the nucleus. DNA is the genetic material of all organisms. Its twisted ladder shape is described as a double helix. This double helix coils up and condenses to form chromosomes. DNA is made of nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a sugar, a phosphate, and a nitrogen base. Adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine are the four nitrogen bases in DNA. It's the uniqueness of the sequence of those bases that makes us all different. Which best explains how DNA replication is a semi-conservative process? Each daughter DNA molecule is made of half new DNA and half parent DNA Daughter molecules are entirely new DNA Daughter molecules are entirely parental DNA None of these During which part of the cell cycle does DNA replication occur? mitosis interphase cytokinesis
