What does DNA contain?
Genetic information

13. 3 - $200
What does DNA stand for?
Deoxyribonucleic acid

14. 3 - $300
Where is DNA located in eukaryotes?
In the nucleus

15. 3 - $400 Where is DNA located in a prokaryote?
In the middle floating in cytoplasm

Semi-conservative

18. 4 - $200 What is the leading strand?
Created by the DNA polymerase and follows the helicase
