DNA Structure Label the diagram. Use the following words to fill in the blanks.nucleotide, deoxyribose, phosphate group, nitrogen base, hydrogen bonds, base pair.Spelling counts - click on the blue dot to type your answer. deoxyribose nitrogen base nucleotide base pair hydrogen bonds phosphate group What is the function of DNA in cells? Contains the genetic instructions for the development and function of living things. 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 Where is DNA found in prokaryotic cells? In the cytoplasm In vacuoles In the nucleus In the golgi apparatus Which of the following is the building block of DNA? proteins nucleotides amino acids lipids What forms the sides of the DNA ladder? nucleotides ATP deoxyribose phosphates What is the name of the bonds that holds DNA nucleotides together? phosphate hydrogen amino acid peptide Base pairs Match the following base pairs. Adenine Thymine Cytosine Guanine DNA Replication Write the correct DNA sequence (use uppercase letters). AAT TTA GCA CGT CAT GTA TGC ACG CCA GGT Select the correct words in the following paragraph: Adenine, guanine, cytosine, and thymine are the four nitrogen bases in DNA. The sequence of nucleotides carries the genetic information of an organism. The twisted ladder shape of DNA is called a double helix. DNA is the genetic material of all organisms. DNA and RNA are the two nucleic acids found in living cells. DNA supercoils to make up a structure known as a chromosome. In humans, a single uncoiled piece of DNA is about six feet long. DNA is found the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. Chargaff's Rule: Using Chargaff's Rules, fill in the following table. A 55% G 45% T 55% C 45%
