A ___________ bond is formed by DNA ligase between the deoxyribose sugar of one nucleotide and the _____________ group of another.
A nucleotide is made up of 3 parts:
A _______________ and a _________________ that form the backbone
and a ____________________________________ (2 words).
Guanine, cytosine, thymine, and __________________ are the four __________________ in DNA.
In DNA, guanine always forms hydrogen bonds with __________________.
The process of __________________ produces a new copy of an organism’s genetic information, which is passed on to a new cell.
The double coiled, “staircase” shape of DNA is called a __________________.
