II. DNA Structure:
12. Draw and label the three parts of a nucleotide: (be sure to use the correct shape to represent the correct part!)
13. List the four nitrogen base pairs, and include: *what it will bond with to make a base pair, *how many bonds, *label as purine or
pyrimidine
14. True or false: when the nitrogen bases form a bond, there is always one purine and one pyrimidine present.
15. Name the two scientist that won the Nobel Prize for their model of the DNA
molecule:________________________________&_________________________. What do we call
their model of the DNA molecule?____________________________________________
16. Draw a DNA molecule, and label the following : sugar, phosphate, nitrogen bases,
17. Define “Chargaff’s Rule”:

33. List the 3 types of RNA (write out the name of each):
34. True/ False: DNA replication is very similar to RNA transcription.
35. When comparing DNA to RNA.RNA replaces the nitrogen base___________with _______________.
36. In the columns below, write the complimentary side to DNA stand 1 in order to complete the DNA
molecule. Then, list the RNA that would be transcribed from DNA stand one.
37. Using the data from question 32, compare the RNA you transcribed to the two strands of DNA. Is
the RNA similar to DNA strand 1, which it was transcribed from, or is it similar to DNA stand two,
which is the complimentary side that was not used to make the RNA? Explain.
