What are the three parts of a single DNA nucleotide?

A sugar, a phosphate and a base

Why is DNA replication described as semi-conservative?

Each new molecule keeps one original strand and gains one new strand

It acts as a template for building a new complementary strand

A length of DNA that carries the instructions for a protein

Transcription into mRNA, then translation at the ribosome

A small ring of DNA in bacteria, separate from the main chromosome

It can be cut and joined with a foreign gene, is easily taken up, and copies itself when the cell divides

To dissolve the cell and nuclear membranes and release the DNA

DNA does not dissolve in alcohol, so it precipitates out as visible white threads

Because the order of bases in the gene sets the order of amino acids in the protein, and this code works in bacteria too
