- Which statment below about nucleotides is TRUE ? A. Base pairing occurs between the 5' and 3' carbons of the sugar in a nucleotide. B. A deoxynucleotide triphosphate (dNTP) becomes a DNA necleotide during polymerization C. In a nucleotide, the base is either deoxyribose (in DNA) or ribose (in RNA) D. A nucleotide is composed of two nitrogenous bases, a sugar and a phosphate group.arrow_forwardA protein is 300 amino acids long. Which of the following could be the number of nucleotides in the section of DNA that codes for this protein? (Remember: DNA is double-stranded.) a.900 b.300 c.3 d.1800 e.500arrow_forwardIn a DNA molecule, Select one: A. The nucleotides are hydrogen-bonded to one another B. The bases are covalently bonded to one another. C. The bases are hydrogen-bonded to the sugars. D. The nucleotides are covalently bonded to one another.arrow_forward
- Refer to the relative proportions diagram in the first picture. 1. To help reveal patterns in the data, graph the data from the table on the grid provided (the second picture). 2. Write two inferences based on your observations and analysis of the patterns that emerge from the data. Your inferences should give insight into the structure of DNA. 3. Formulate two or three claims about the data in Part 1. Be sure each claim is supported by the data. 4. Using the claims you developed, complete the data table that is provided in the picture (Relative Proportions Chart that is labeled "For question 4".arrow_forwardWhy do DNA and RNA move toward the positive electrode in electrophoresis? A. The phosphate groups in DNA and RNA are positively charged. B. The phosphate groups in DNA and RNA are negatively charged. C. The nucleotide bases in DNA and RNA are positively charged. D. The nucleotide bases in DNA and RNA are negatively charged.arrow_forwardWhich pattern does the structures of dna follow in that its replication results in one parent molecule and one daughter molecule.arrow_forward
- Explain why scientists preferred proteins as the source of genetic material over DNA. A. DNA seemed too simple of a molecule compared to proteins B. Proteins are made up of combinations of 20 different amino acids compared to DNA's 4 bases. The larger number seemed more likely to account for all the variety and diversity in organisms. C. Scientists knew more about proteins than they did DNA. D. All of the answers are correct explanations.arrow_forwardWhich statement accurately describes the differences between RNA and DNA? RNA always folds into a single helix while DNA always folds into a double helix. RNA contains the nitrogenous base thymine, while DNA contains the nitrogenous base uracil. RNA contains pyrimidine bases, while DNA contains purine bases. The nucleotides in DNA contain one phosphate group while those in RNA contain two phosphate groups. The sugar in DNA contains one less hydroxyl group than the sugar in RNA.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is true about DNA? a. DNA consists of two strands of nucleotides held together by weak hydrogen bonds. b. DNA has a globular shape. c. DNA contains the sugar, ribose. d.
