What base matches with cytosine in DNA?
Which base matches with adenine in DNA?
What is the shape of DNA?
Weak Hydrogen Bonds
What bonds hold the nitrogen containing base pairs together in the center of the molecule of DNA?
What type of bond holds the nitrogen containing bases to the sugar/phosphate backbone of the DNA molecule?
The process of copying or making new DNA is called?
What enzyme breaks the bonds in the center of DNA to unzip the molecule or separate the chains of DNA?
The point at which the 2 chains of DNA separate
Moves along the 2 separated chains, new chains are assembled complimentary to the existing chain.
Consists of a sugar, phosphate, and nitrogen containing base pair.
