1. DNA stands for
___________________________ _________
and is the basic substance of heredity.
DNA is a set of _____________ for
building your body and controls
everything about the way you
____ and __________.
What is DNA?
DNA is a set of
instructions for building
your body and controls
everything about the
way you look and
function.
Double-helix
3. A DNA _________ looks like a twisted
ladder. Because of its shape, a DNA
molecule is often called a “_______
________”. A helix is shape that twist.
A DNA _molecule_ looks like a twisted
ladder. Because of its shape, a DNA
molecule is often called a “_double_
_helix_”. A helix is shape that twist.
4. The DNA double helix looks like a twisted ladder.
The side of the ladder, the hand railing, are made
of ___________________ and _____________.
The DNA double helix looks
like a twisted ladder. The
side of the ladder, the hand
railing, are made of _sugar
molecule and
_phosphate_.
Side railings
5. The rungs of the ladder are formed by pairs of
___________________________.
The rungs of the
ladder are formed
by pairs of
__Nitrogen bases.
Nitrogen Bases
6. Nitrogen bases are molecules that contain the
element ______________ and other element.
Nitrogen bases
are molecules
that contain the
element
__Nitrogen and
other element.
7. The two sides of DNA ladder are made up of
molecules of a sugar called
__________________, alternating with the
molecules known as ________________.
The two sides of DNA ladder are made up of
molecules of a sugar called _deoxyribose_,
alternating with the molecules known as
_phosphates.

8. There are four types of nitrogen bases:
a. (ad uh neen) ________________.
b. (thy meen) _________________.
c. (gwah neen) ________________.
d. (sy tuh seen) ________________.
There are four types of nitrogen bases:

9. Adenine always pair with ________________;
and Guanine always pair with ______________.
Adenine always
pair with
_Thymine; and
Guanine always
pair with
_Cytosine.
Base pair pairing
DNA-R-Us
DNA DNA
guanine G Cytosine
Thymin-T Adenine
adenine A Thymin
cytosine C Guanine
10. The pairing pattern is the key to
understanding how DNA _________ occurs.
The pairing pattern is the
key to understanding
how DNA _replication_
occurs.
Replication
11. So if one side of DNA
ladder has –
Then the other side will be –
Making the complete
structure –
OR in simple letters – C A A G
G T T C
16
Now your turn to try –
Simply write the matching base pair.
NO NEED TO DRAW the other side.
