Notes about this concept
Nucleotide
p. 163, 281 ,
subunits of nucleic acid
formed from a simple sugar,
a phosphate group, and a
nitrogenous base.
Nitrogenous base
p. 282 , 1137
carbon ring structure found
in DNA or RNA that
contains one or more atoms
of nitrogen; includes
adenine, guanine, cytosine,
thymine, and uracil.
Double helix
p. 283 , 1124
shape of DNA molecule
formed when two twisted
DNA strands are coiled into
a springlike structure and
held together by hydrogen
bonds between bases.
DNA replication
p. 284 , 1123
process in which
chromosomal DNA is copied
before mitosis or meiosis.
