DNA Replication

Question 1

What are Nucleic Acids

Answer 1

Macromolecules that encode genetic material

Question 2

What are the 2 NA used in human cells

Answer 2

Deobroxribonucleic Acid
Ribonucleic Acid

Question 3

Monomers of NA and the hat they consist of

Answer 3

Nucleotides
- phosphate, sugar and base

Question 4

What sugar is used in DNA and RNA

Answer 4

Deoxyribose
Ribose

Question 5

What sugar is used that has 5 carbons,
Compared to most sugars in our diet with 6

Answer 5

Pentose-5
Hexose-6

Question 6

Different between DNA and RNA

Answer 6

The ribose has an -OH on carbon 2

Question 7

What is the phosphodeister bond

Answer 7

When the c5 of each sugar bonds to a phosphate molecule, which can then react with the OH group b n the c3 of another nucelotide sugar
- resulting in sugar-phosphate backbone of DNA

Question 8

4 bases of DNA and how they bond

Answer 8

Adenine, thymine, cytosine and guanine

bases bond to the C1 of the nucleotide sugar and project perpendicular to the backbone.

Question 9

Primary structure

Answer 9

The sequence of nucleotide bases in a single strand of NA
