the fundemental of DNA
what does A go to
T
What does G go to
C
name the parts of the double helix
backbone, strand, nucleotiode, basepair
where is the sugar
where is the phosphate
what is the Chargraff’s rule
a goes to t
g goes to c
sugars can only bond to — or —
phosphate or nitrogen base
a phosphate can only bind to a —
sugar
a nitrogen base can only bind with a — or —
sugar or another nitrogen base
label the parts
top part: “P arm” - telomere
middle: centromere
bottom: “Q arm” - telomere
