DNA Model Questions (Daisha & Tyler)
DNA is short for Deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA is a molecule that contains the instructions an organism needs to develop and to reproduce. DNA is also an double Helix.
2. What are the building blocks of DNA called? Name the three main components of these building blocks.
The 4 main components of the building blocks of DNA are Adenine (A), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G) and Thymine (T).
3. Where in the eukaryotic cell is the DNA found?
In the eukaryotic cell DNA is found in the nucleus, the mitochondria, and the chloroplasts
4. List and describe as many functions of DNA in living things that you can think of (at least three!)
The main function/ role of DNA is the storage of information.
5. List each color that is represented for the nitrogenous bases located within the center of the molecule.
Blue, Grey, Red and Green
6. Examine the nucleotides. Draw and take a picture of a nucleotide and lable the three parts.
A glycosidic bond forms between a nitrogen base group.
8. What type of bonds form between the sugar- phosphate groups?
A covalent bond forms between the sugar- phosphate groups.

DNA MODEL (London)
•DNA is ones genetic information.
• The main 3 components in the model are the sugars the phosphates and the nitrogenous bases.
• DNA is found inside the nucleus of a cell.
•Grey
Green
Blue
Red
•
•hydrogen bonds form between the nitrogenous bases and they are weak so they are able to break apart

type of bonds form between the nitrogen base pairs? (Look it up if nobody in
the group knows.)

form between the sugar-phosphate groups
1.
If a DNA molecule were
composed of 10% guanine, what percents of the molecule would be made up of
cytosine, adenine, and thymine? Show your work.
Jared Benjamin- Crash Course Mitosis
1) In your body, what can clone itself?
Cells.
2) What process is used to repair cells?
Mitosis.
3) In the video Hank gives examples, list some.
If you get a cut, mitosis replaces. if you drink too much, it damages your liver and mitosis replaces.
4) How does a 7 pound baby turn into a 70 pound child?
Its not cells increasing in mass, its them duplicating over and over.

10,000,000,000,000,000 times.
6) What stores DNA in a cell?
Nucleus.
7) How is the DNA organized in your cells?
DNA is organized into chromosomes.
8) What type of cells are the 46 chromosomes?
Diploid Cells.
9) What are the phases of mitosis?
Nuclear division plus cytokinesis, and produces two identical daughter cells during prophase, prometaphase, metaphase, anaphase, and telophase.
10) What type of cells are sex cells?
Gametes.
11) Most cells spend their life in what phase?
Interphase.
12) What phase does the chromatin start to condense into chromosomes?
Prophase.
13) When does the nuclear envelope disintegrate?
Prophase.

Crash Course- Mitosis Questions
We have discussed the three jobs of the cell which are;
generate energy
making proteins and
creating more cells
Mitosis is the process by which new cells are formed from pre-existing cells in eukaryotes.
Use the Crash Course video on Mitosis to answer the following questions. Please answer the questions directly from the blog and highlight your final answer and skip lines if done on loose leaf. All questions must be answered by the end of class and submitted to jaharris@dc.seedschool.org for full credit. This assignment is one of the very first assignments of the 3rd quarter.
