A ___________ bond is formed by DNA ligase between the deoxyribose sugar of one nucleotide and the _____________ group of another.
Nucleotides serving as building blocks for RNA differ from those used for DNA in that _____________________.
The nitrogenous bases are attached to the 5’ carbon position of the sugar in RNA nucleotides, whereas in DNA nucleotides, the bases are attached to the 1’ carbon position of the sugar.
RNA nucleotides lack phosphates whereas DNA nucleotides contain a phosphate bound at the 5’ carbon position of the sugar.
RNA nucleotides only carry pyrimidine bases whereas DNA nucleotides carry either purine or Pyrimidine bases.
Thymine bases are used in RNA nucleotides whereas uracil bases are used in DNA nucleotides.
RNA nucleotides have an oxygen at the 2’ carbon position of the sugar whereas DNA lacks an oxygen at this same position of the sugar.
Guanine, cytosine, thymine, and __________________ are the four __________________ in DNA.
In DNA, guanine always forms hydrogen bonds with __________________.
The process of __________________ produces a new copy of an organism’s genetic information, which is passed on to a new cell.
The double coiled, “staircase” shape of DNA is called a __________________.
