STATION 1: COMPARING DNA
The drawings below show a very small section of the DNA double helix from three very different organisms: a plant, a mammal, and a bacterium.
Each strand of DNA shown contains five nucleotides. Each nucleotide has:
S = sugar molecule called deoxyribose P = phosphate group and one of the four bases: A = adenine, C = cytosine, G = guanine, or T = thymine

In the backbone of each strand in the DNA double helix molecule, the sugar of one nucleotide is bonded to the in the next nucleotide.

The of the nucleotides in each strand of DNA extend toward each other in the center of the DNA double helix molecule.

THE SUPER MOST IMPORTANT BASE PAIRING RULE!!!!
A in one strand always pairs with in the other strand.
G in one strand always pairs with in the other strand.
