| Sugar, Phosphate, & Base | Parts of DNA nucleotide |
| Deoxyribose | Sugar -in DNA |
| Phosphorous | Phosphate |
| Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine | Nitrogen Containing Bases |
| DNA is made up of... | Repeating subunits of nucleotides |
| Purines made up of 2 rings of carbon | Adenine & Guanine |
| Pyrimidines that have only 1 ring of carbon | Cytosine & Thymine |
| Structure of DNA | Double Helix |
| C-F , T-A | Complimentary base pairs |
| (A) (G) (C) (T) | Letters used to signify nitrogen bases - Adenine, Guanine Cytosine & Thymine |
