Accepted Answer

A ribose sugar

Question 3

What type of bond links nucleotides together in a polynucleotide chain?

Accepted Answer

Phosphodiester linkage

Question 4

Which of the following base pairs is found in DNA but NOT in RNA?

Accepted Answer

Adenine–Thymine

Question 5

A scientist analyzes the DNA of a newly discovered species and finds that 30% of its bases are adenine. According to Chargaff's rules, what percentage of the bases should be thymine?

Accepted Answer

$$30\%$$

Question 6

Which statement best explains why DNA can be replicated accurately?

Accepted Answer

Complementary base pairing ensures each strand can serve as a template.

Question 7

Which of the following is a purine base found in nucleic acids?

Accepted Answer

Adenine

Question 8

What is the difference between a nucleoside and a nucleotide?

Accepted Answer

A nucleotide contains a nitrogenous base, a sugar, and a phosphate group; a nucleoside contains only a base and a sugar.

Accepted Answer

Translation

Question 13

Which of the following best describes the backbone of a DNA molecule?

Accepted Answer

Alternating sugars and phosphate groups

Question 14

Accepted Answer

Pyrimidine to pyrimidine

Question 15

Which of the following is a direct application of genomics in medicine?

Accepted Answer

Sequencing the entire genome to find disease-causing mutations

Question 16

Which of the following is TRUE about the directionality of DNA strands in the double helix?

Accepted Answer
