Biology Unit 1

?
What are the three components of a nucleotide?
A phosphate mollecule, a deoxyribose sugar and a base.
1 of 5
How are nucleotides connected?
They are connected by strong convalent bonds. The 5' end of a phospahte mollecule is joined to the 3' end of a deoxyribose sugar.

Explain the term "Sugar Phosphate Backbone"
This is the term for the structure created whenthe deoxyribose sugar mollecule of one nucleotide is connected to the phosphate mollecule of another nucleotide.

What is a genotype?
It is the alleles an organism has for a particular characteristic.
4 of 5
What defines the genotype?
