1.
complementary base pairs: each nitrogen base only pairs with another specific nitrogen base
2.
covalent bond: holds handrail molecules together
3.
DNA: deoxyribonucleic acid, organic macromolecule necessary for life
4.
DNA replication occurs during...?: s-phase of interphase
5.
DNA's five components: hydrogen, carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus
6.
double carbon ring structure: adenine and guanine (large)
7.
double hydrogen bond (complementary): thymine and adenine
8.
handrails: composed of repeating sugar (deoxyribose) and phosphate molecules
9.
hydrogen bond: holds the nitrogen bases together
10.
mitosis: allows for the DNA code to be copied and passed to new cells
11.
nitrogen base bonds: adenine (A), guanine (G), Cytosine (C), Thymine (T)
12.
nucleotide: phosphate, sugar (deoxyribose), and nitrogen base
13.
nucleotide chain: single stand of DNA
14.
rungs: composed of 4 different nitrogen bases, each base bonds to a sugar molecule
15.
single carbon ring structure: cytosine and thymine (small)
16.
triple hydrogen bond (complementary): guanine and cytosine
17.
what does DNA contain?: contains coded instructions that control all the activities of a cell and codes for all the traits an organism exhibits
18.
where is DNA?: chromosomes (DNA wrapped around proteins) of the nucleus
