DNA

The ________ for the chromosome is stored in the order of the bases, and the method in which the bases link to one another is what allows DNA to replicate itself.

________ are located within this organelle, which also serves as the cell's control center.

During the process of ________, information is extracted from DNA and replicated onto an intermediate form of molecule known as mRNA (messenger ribonucleic acid)

Both the ________ and the exons of a gene are transcribed in order to produce mRNAs that code for various parts of a protein.

The ________ is transported out of the nucleus of the cell and into structures within the cell known as ribosomes.

________ are typically understood to be the component of DNA that is essential for the production of a single protein.

The ________ is wound into coils, which are then twisted together to form a supercoil.

It is made up of all of the parts of the protein's ________ that contain the genetic code for all of the amino acids.

The information contained in the DNA is replicated as a complementary copy by ________ nucleotides that contain the right bases and attach themselves to the exposed DNA bases in a cross- linked fashion.

The ________ can alternatively be described as having loops and twists.

The _ is located inside the cell.

The double helix of DNA is wound into coils, which are then twisted together to form a supercoil.

Also known as a nucleosome, a nucleosome is a package consisting of eight proteins (histones) and approximately two twists of DNA looped around it.

are complementary to one another because they each have two potential sites for the formation of hydrogen bonds, whereas guanine and cytosine each have three potential sites for the formation of hydrogen bonds.

The __ of DNA makes it possible to cram an amazing length into a relatively small area.

Having a structure that is made up of phosphate compounds and deoxyribose, which is a type of sugar, in alternating units

When there are 10.4 rungs of base pairs, the DNA helix will twist once.

forms of the DNA molecule can be found in chromosomes

Adenine always forms a base pair with thymine

Guanine and cytosine are the only two bases that can ever form a pair.
