For 3-8, identify the nitrogenous bases.

Note the pattern of the hydrogen bonds between those already labeled.

a. In a single strand of DNA, the on one nucleotide binds to the deoxyribose of the next nucleotide.

b. Chargaff's rules states that the DNA of any organism contains equal proportions of and and equal proportions of and (I have to regrade this).

c. Logical thinking using Chargaff's rules - In a strand of DNA, if the percentage of adenine was 20%, the percentage of guanine in the same strand must be .

d. bonds connect the nitrogen bases of one strand to the nitrogen bases of the other strand of DNA.

Why is DNA replication called semi-conservative?

I will have to grade this.

What does it mean that the two strands of DNA are complementary?

I will have to grade this.

Reorder the following steps from beginning to end.

  1. A complementary strand is created for each of the two strands of the original double helix.

  2. The DNA double helix breaks or unzips down the middle between the base pairs.

  3. The enzyme DNA polymerase moves along the exposed strands and adds complementary nucleotides to each nucleotide in each existing strand.

  4. Two new identical DNA molecules have been produced.
