DNA

Question 1

3 components of a mononucleotide DNA AND RNA

Answer 1

phosphate, DEoxyribose, nitrogenous base

Question 2

how does bond formation happen?

Answer 2

mononucleotides join together by a condensation reaction between a phosphate and sugar forming a polynucleotide with a sugar phosphate backbone, this forms a phosphodiester bond

Question 3

what is adenine and guanine and what is thymine and cytosine

Answer 3

large purines = adenine and guanine
small pyrimidies= thymine and cytosine

Question 4

how many hydrogen bonds form between adenine and thymine, and guanine and cytosine

Answer 4

adenine 2 HYDROGEN BONDS thymine

guanine 3 HYDROGEN BONDS cytosine

Question 5

The DNA strands are anti- parallel, how are they read?

Answer 5

theyre read from 3’ to 5’ direction, and theyre read from the antisense/template strand
