    The document is a worksheet about DNA structure and replication. It contains questions about DNA structure such as the components of a nucleotide, Chargaff's rules about base pair ratios, and that DNA has a double helix shape. It also asks about DNA replication, including that it is semi-conservative and involves unwinding of the DNA, complementary base pairing to form new strands, and enzymes that unwind, add bases and proofread.

    DNA: The Molecule of Heredity Worksheet

    DNA Structure
    1. On the diagram to the right:

    • Circle and label a


    nucleotide.

    • Label the sugar and


    phosphate molecules.

    • Label the bases that are


    not already labeled.

    • Label a base pair.

    • Label the sugar-


    phosphate backbones.

    • Label the hydrogen


    bonds.

    2. A nucleotide is made of three parts: a _________________________ group, a five carbon


    _________________________, and a _________________________ base.

    3. In a single strand of DNA, the phosphate group binds to the _________________________ of the
    next group.

    4. Chargaff's rule states that the DNA of any species contains equal amounts of
    _________________________ & _________________________ and also equal amounts of
    _________________________ & _________________________.

    5. In DNA, thymine is complementary to (or pairs with) _________________________ ; cytosine is


    complementary to _________________________.

    6. In a strand of DNA, if the percentage of thymine is 30%, what would the percentage of cytosine
    in the same DNA strand be? _________________________.

    7. James Watson and Francis Crick with, the help of Rosalind Franklin and others, determined
    that the shape of the DNA molecule was a __________________________.

    8. Why do purines pair with pyrimidines? __________________________________________________

    9. What type of bonds connect the deoxyribose sugars to the phosphate groups?
    _________________________

    10. What type of bonds connect the bases to each other? _________________________
    DNA Replication
    1. Number the steps of DNA replication in the correct order (1, 2, 3):

    _____ Daughter strands are formed using complementary base pairing.


    _____ DNA unwinds
    _____ The DNA of the daughter strands winds with together with its parent strand.

    2. Why is DNA replication called “semi-conservative”? _________________________________________

    3. What enzyme unwinds or unzips the parent strand? ________________________________________

    4. What enzyme connects the new bases to the old bases in the DNA template?
    ___________________________________________________________________

    5. What enzyme connects the new nucleotides together and proofreads them?
    ___________________________________________________________________

    6. Show the complimentary base pairing that would occur in the replication of the short DNA
    molecule below. Use two different colored pencils (or different pens, markers, etc.) to show which
    strands are the original and which are newly synthesized.
