Question
7. What are the 4 nitrogen bases?
1.
2.
3.
4.
8. What is their purpose? Why does their order matter? Answer in complete sentences.
How does this structure allow a DNA molecule to be copied to make another identical molecule?
The answer to this question is that the nitrogen bases interact with one another in predictable
ways. Pairing between nitrogen bases on opposite strands is always the same. Notice that the
pairing that takes place between nitrogen bases is specific in DNA strands. Adenine, a large base,
bonds with thymine, a small base. Guanine, a large base, bonds with cytosine, a small base. This
specific bonding pattern that happens between the nucleotides is called complementary base
pairing.
9. How do the bases pair? How are A and G similar? How are T and C similar?
