1. Describe the structure of a DNA nucleotide.
2. Distinguish between pyrimidine and purine.
3. Distinguish between the 5′ end and 3′ end of a nucleotide.
4. Briefly describe the three-dimensional structure of DNA.
5. Explain the base-pairing rule and describe its significance.
6. Distinguish between secondary structures of DNA and RNA. How are the sugars and nitrogenous bases different between nucleotides of DNA and RNA?
7. Describe DNA replication as being semi-conservative,
8. Describe the process of DNA replication, including the role of the origins of replication and replication forks.
9. Define antiparallel and explain why continuous synthesis of both DNA strands is not possible.
10. Distinguish between the leading strand and the lagging strand.
11. Explain the roles of helicase, RNA primer, primase, DNA polymerase, DNA ligase, and single-strand binding proteins.
12. Explain how the lagging strand is synthesized even though DNA polymerase can add nucleotides only to the 3' end.
