Part II. Nucleic acids Nucleic acids carry information inside cells. Genetic information is stored in DNA, and short- lived copies of this are made in the form of messenger RNA. The structure of DNA allows it to serve as a template with which cells can make a highly precise copy of their genetic information. The figure below shows you the structure of two chains (strands) of DNA nucleotides that interact together to form DNA (deoxyribose nucleic acid). Figure 4. DNA nucleotides and deoxyribose nucleic acid Hydrogen bonds Adenine Nitrogenous bases: Thymine 3' 5' Adenine eliy OH Thymine Guanine Cytosine Base pair 95' HO -Sugar- phosphate backbone Bases Sugar-phosphate backbone Sugar-phosphate backbone 3' 5' DNA Nucleotides by Open Stax.

Put a triangle around the DEOXYRIBOSE SUGAR at the 3' end of each of the 2 DNA strands. 8. Circle a single nucleotide on each side of the model of DNA. 9. Which part of a nucleotide makes up the rung of the "ladder"? Click or tap here to enter text. 10. When one nucleotide contains adenine, which base does the adenine interact with on the opposite strand of DNA? 5' MWA Guanine H?N Cytosine
