QuestionAnswer
Molecule that stores all the information about an organism in a chemical code. DNA
Responsible for taking x-ray pictures of DNA, giving other scientists clues to its shape. Rosalind Franklin
Responsible for making the first 3D model of DNA, showing what it is made of and how its parts fit together to store information. Nobel Prize won in 1962. Watson and Crick
What is the shape of DNA? Double Helix
What are the 3 parts of nucleotides, the subunits that make up DNA? 1. Sugar (Deoxyribose), 2. Phosphate, 3. Nitrogen Base (ATGC)
What are the 4 bases of DNA that make up the steps in its twisted staircase? These bases make up the code that DNA uses to store information about living things. A (Adenine), T (Thymine), G (Guanine), C (Cytosine)
What are the base pair rules for DNA? Adenine (A) bases always pair with Thymine (T) bases. Guanine (G) bases always pair with Cytosine (C) bases.
