Question

amoeba sisters video recap: dna vs. rna & protein synthesis updated
whose show is this?
dna shouldnt get all the credit! for this portion, check out the amoeba sisters dna vs. rna video.
then, write \d\ if for dna,
\ if for rna, or \both\ if it pertains to both dna and rna.
1.____i am a nucleic acid.
2.____i am usually single - stranded.
3.____i am generally found both inside and outside of the nucleus in eukaryotic cells.
4.____i am arranged as a double helix, and my shape is often described as a \twisted ladder.\
5.____i include bases guanine, cytosine, and adenine.
6.____each of my nucleotides includes a phosphate, sugar, and base.
7.____i include the base uracil.
8.____i include the base thymine.
9.____i generally remain in the nucleus in eukaryotic cells.
10.____i have the sugar deoxyribose.
11.____i am made up of nucleotides.
