2. DNA Challenge As a group, quietly discuss each question and agree upon one correct answer. The group with the most correct answers will win.

3. 1 of 15) Along with a phosphate and nitrogen base, name the other part of a DNA nucleotide.

4. 2 of 15) Perform transcription and match the proper nitrogen bases to the given strand of DNA.

5. 3 of 15) Perform DNA replication and match the proper nitrogen bases to the given strand of DNA.

6. 4 of 15) Name these two fellows who discovered the shape of DNA in the 1950’s.

7. 5 of 15) Structurally, list two ways that DNA and RNA differ.

8. 6 of 15) Three enzymes have been discussed thus far: DNA Helicase, RNA polymerase, and DNA polymerase. Part A: During DNA replication, which enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds allowing the DNA to separate? Part B: During transcription, which enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds allowing the DNA to separate?
