  4. Question #2 • What three things make up a nucleotide? • 1 sugar, 1 phosphate, 1 nitrogen base

  5. Question #3 • Who is credited with the discovery of the shape of DNA? • Watson and Crick

  6. Question #4 • What is the basic structure of DNA called? Hint-twisted ladder • Double helix

  7. Question #5 • Complete the following diagram using the base-pairing rule • GTCGAC • CAGCTG

  8. Question #6 • What does C stand for? • Cytosine

  9. Question #7 • What does DNA stand for? • Deoxyribose nucleic acid

  10. Question #8 • Are there any two people who have exactly the same DNA? • Yes, identical twins

  11. Question #9 • Why is DNA sometimes called the fingerprint inside your body? • Because no two peoples DNA is the same (except twins) and no two peoples fingerprints are the same

  12. Question #10 • What are the rails of the DNA strand are called? • Sugar phosphate backbone

  13. Question #11 • What are the steps of the DNA strand are called? • Nitogenous Bases

  14. Question #12 • In a DNA Strand A pairs with ____. • T (thymine)

  15. DNA Replication Questions

  16. Question #13 • Which enzyme is responsible for unwinding a DNA strand for replication? • DNA Helicase

  17. Question #14 • How does DNA Helicase unzip the strand? • It breaks the bonds (hydrogen) between the two nitrogenous bases

  18. Question #15 • When does DNA Replication occur during the cell cycle? • S-phase of interphase

  19. Question #16 • Why is it necessary for DNA Replication to occur? • I will take either of the following: • To preserve the genetic code between cells • To prepare for mitosis or meiosis

  20. Question #17 • In DNA replications, how many new double strands are made? • Two

  21. Question #18 • DNA Replication follows the Semi-conservative model of replication, what does this mean? • It means that each strand is made up of one old strand (parent) and one new strand (daughter)

  22. Question #19 • In DNA Replication, which enzyme is responsible for laying down the complement bases? • DNA Polymerase

  23. Question #20 • Write the DNA Replication Complement do this strand. • ATCGCCGATC • TAGCGGCTAG
