Answer 22

DNA and RNA

Question 23

Nucleotide

Answer 23

A monomer has three components 1. A phosphate group, 2. A pentose (5 carbon) sugar either DNA or RNA and 3. A single or double ring of carbon and nitrogen atoms known as a base

Deoxyribose has four different nucleotides present in DNA

Two purine bases and two pyrimidine bases what are they?

Answer 24

Purine bases: adenine and guanine. Have fused double rings of carbon and nitrogen atoms

Pyrimidine bases: cytosine and thymine. They have a sing,e ring structure

Question 25

Base pairing

Answer 25

Adenine to thymine
Cytosine to guanine

Two strands he,d together by hydrogen bonds
Each base lies on a sugar phosphate backbone

Question 26

RNA

Answer 26

They have a similar structure to DNA
The sugar is ribose
Thymine is replaced with uracil three other bases stay the same.
