1. DNA Structure 3 Parts of a nucleotide: Nitrogenous Base Sugar (Deoxyrib ose ) Phosphate

2. There are 4 nitrogenous bases in DNA Adenine (A) Thymine (T) Guanine (G) Cytosine (C) A&G=PurinesT&C=Pyrimidines

4. Chargaff’s Rules of DNA Base Pairing 1.Adenine only pairs with Thymine 2.Guanine only pairs with Cytosine A-T and G-C

5. 3. The the amount of Adenine (A) in an organism is equal to the amount of Thymine (T) in the organism. 4. The amount of Guanine (G) in an organism is equal to the amount of Cytosine (C) in the organism. Chargaff’s Rules of DNA Base Pairing A=T G=C

6. Practice:What would the complementary strand look like? A T G G C C T G A A T A G C A C C TACCGGACTTATCGTGG
