| Question | Answer |
|---|---|

| what must the genes be capable of | storing, copying, and transmitting the genetic info in a cell |
| what is the foremost job of the DNA | to store information |
| what does DNA replicate befoer mitosis | S phase of interphase |
| what must a cell have whenever it divides | an exact copy of the gentic info |
| What does DNA stand for | Deoxyribose Acid |
| DNA is a nucleic acid made up of what | Nucleotides |
| WHat are nucleotides | building blocks of the nucleic acids |
| nitrogenous bases contain what | nitrogen |
| where do the nucleotides form in a strand of DNA | sugar and phosphate |
| Rosalind Franklin used a technique called what | X-ray diffraction |
| The what model explains chargaffs rule of base pairing | double-helix |
| Watson and Crick built a what | 3-dimensional model |
| The 2 strands of DNA run in what directions | opposite |
| watson and crick discovers what bonds could form between certain nitrogenous bases and force 2 strands to stay together | hydrogen |
| what is critical to the DNAs functions | the ability of the 2 strands to seperate |
| hydrogen bonds would form only _______ certain base pairs | between |
| this fit above is known as what | base pairing |
| each base on the one strand pairs with only one base on the _____ strand | opposite |
| each strand now has all the _______ needed to reconstruct the other half | info |
| the strands are said to be what | complementary |
| the result is 2 DNA molecules indentical to each other and the ______ molecule | original |
