Structure of DNA

9) One side (one polymer of nucleotides) of the DNA molecule is said

to be complementary to the other side of the molecule. Which of

these best formulates how the structure of DNA pairs perfectly to

the process of DNA replication?

A) During DNA replication, transfer RNA molecules bring amino

acids to the exposed gene.

B) During DNA replication, the molecule splits at the peptide

bonds, and amino acids are added to the new side of the

ladder.

C) During DNA replication, the molecule splits at the weak

hydrogen bonds, and each side provides a template for the new side of the ladder.

D) During DNA replication, the enzyme zipperase breaks the weak bonds between the ladder and

complementary lipid molecules are shuttled to the exposed nucleotides.

DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order of these bases is what determines DNA's instructions, or genetic code.
