Name _____________________________ DNA/RNA Study Guide Period ______________________________ Use your notes (all found on the website) to answer the following questions: 1. DNA is composed of smaller subunits know as ________________________. 2. The three parts of a nucleotide are _____________________, ________________________, and ________________________. 3. DNA looks like a ladder twisted into a shape known as a _____________________________. 4. The two molecules that make up the sides of the ladder or the side portion of a DNA molecule are __________________ and ___________________. 5. The molecules that meet across the middle, forming the steps of the “ladder’” are known as ___________________________. 6. The four nitrogen bases that are found in DNA are ___________________, __________________, ____________________ and ____________________. 7. Which nitrogen bases always pair with one another? 8. The process in which DNA builds an exact duplicate of itself is known as _______________________. 9. RNA does not have _____________________ nitrogen base. It is replaced with ____________________. 10. RNA is a ___________________ stranded molecule. 11. The three types of RNA are ___________________________, ___________________________, and ___________________________. 12.
