    DNA replication occurs in the nucleus of the cell. It is considered a semi-conservative process where the new strands are half old DNA and half new DNA. DNA is made up of nucleotides that contain deoxyribose, and when the DNA strands unzip the hydrogen bonds between complementary bases are broken.

    DNA REPLICATION PRACTICE

    Answer the following questions based on the structure of DNA and the process of replication.
    Replicate the strands or circle the answer the answer that best completes each statement.

    1. DNA replication occurs in the (nucleus/cytoplasm) of the cell.

    2. The sugar found in a DNA molecule is called (ribose/deoxyribose).

    3. Replication is considered a (conservative/semi-conservative) process because the new strands are

    half old DNA and half new DNA.

    4. The following strand of DNA is undergoing replication. What is the complementary strand?

    A T G C C C G A C T G C A
    T A C G G G C T G A C G T

    5. When pairing bases during replication thymine always pairs with (adenine/cytosine).

    6. The percent of guanine in a strand of DNA is always equal to the percent of (adenine/cytosine).

    7. When the DNA strand unzips, the (hydrogen/ nitrogen) bonds are broken between the bases.

    8. If a strand of DNA has 20% thymine, there is (20%/30%) guanine in the strand.

    9. Replicate the following strand of DNA

    T A C G T G G A C C T A T
    A T G C A C C T G G A T A

    10. If a cell has 33% adenine in a strand of DNA, the percentage of thymine is (33%/22%)
    11. Replicate the following strand of DNA

    T A G T A T G G C T A T G
    A T C A T A C C G A T A C

    12. A molecule of DNA is made up of building blocks called (nucleotides/nitrogen bases).


    13. DNA contains the instructions for the building of (carbohydrates/ proteins).
    14. The shape of a DNA molecules is considered a (double/single) helix.
    15. Replicate the following strand of DNA

    A G C T A T T C C G A G T
    T C G A T A A G G C T C A
