Name: __________________________________________________ DNA •
DNA stands for: ______________________________________________________________________________ •
Structure: ______________________________________________________________________________________ •
Two sides of the DNA ladder are made up of __________________________________________________ and __________________________________________________________________ •
Each rung is a pair of _______________________________________________________ A -­‐ ____________________________________________ + T -­‐ ________________________________________________ C -­‐ ____________________________________________ + G -­‐ _________________________________________________ •
Hydrogen bonds ______________________________________________________________________________________ Replicating DNA •
An ____________________________________________ unzips the DNA molecule •
2 sides of the ladder unwind •
Nitrogen base pairs floating in the nucleus pair up with bases on each half of the DNA •
Because of _______________________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________, the new DNA molecule will be exactly the same as the original DNA molecule. Modeling a DNA molecule: DNA Structure Candy Piece
