Genes & DNA set 2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Double Helix | Two strands twisted around each other, like a winding staircase |
| Nucleotide | The subunits that make up DNA |
| Deoxyribose | The five-carbon sugar in DNA nucleotides |
| Base-Pairing Rules | The pairing arrangement of the nitrogen bases between the two strands of DNA where A pairs with T and G pairs with C |
| Complementary | The sequence of bases on one strand determines the sequences of bases on the other strand. This is a result from the strict base-pairing rules |
| DNA Replication | The process of making a copy of DNA |
