What are nucleotides composed of?
A phosphate, deoxyribose sugar and 1 of 4 nitrogenous bases.
1 of 10
What are the 4 nitrogenous bases?
Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C) and Guanine (G).
2 of 10
What are the base pair rules?
A pairs with T and C pairs with G.
3 of 10
What does the bond between the phosphate and deoxyribose sugar form?
Sugar-Phosphate backbone.
4 of 10
What form does the DNA take?
Double helix.
5 of 10
What are Prokaryotes?
Organisms that lacks a true membrane bond nucleus.
6 of 10
Where is the DNA found in a prokaryote?
In the cytoplasm.
7 of 10
What are Eukaryotes?
Organisms that have a membrane bound nucleus that stores their genetic material.
8 of 10
How is the DNA in a Prokaryotes found?
In a large circular chromosome and small plasmids.
9 of 10
How is the DNA in Eukaryotes found?
In linear chromosomes (nucleus) and circular chromosomes (mitochondria (animals) and chloroplasts (plants))
