A | B |
proteins | hold the shape of DNA together |
double helix | the shape of DNA |
chromosomes | are found in the nucleus |
bases | A, G, T, C |
A pairs with | T |
T pairs with | A |
G pairs with | C |
C pairs with | G |
complementary base pairs | match up |
bases are | held together by H bonds |
if a base sequence is GGTAC the complementary base pairing on the other strand is | CCATG |
if a base sequence is GGATC the complementary base pairing on the other strand is | CCTAG |
if a base sequence is GGTCA the complementary base pairing on the other strand is | CCAGT |
if a base sequence is GCTAC the complementary base pairing on the other strand is | CGATG |
3 H bonds between | C and G |
2 H bonds between | A and T |
the order of bases in a gene | codes for a protein |
when trying to extract DNA, the function of detergent is to | break down cell surface membranes |
when trying to extract DNA, the function of salt is to | make DNA clump together |
when trying to extract DNA, the function of protease is to | break down proteins |
DNA is insoluble in ethanol | so it forms a precipitate |
chromatography is used to | separate pieces of DNA |
