DNA Quiz: Structure and Basics

This document is a 7 question DNA quiz that tests knowledge about DNA structure and function. It asks which term best describes DNA, which cellular structure contains DNA strands, the common name for DNA's double helix shape, where chromosomes are found in cells, which bases always pair together in DNA, and what makes up the DNA backbone. The key points are that DNA is the blueprint of life, chromosomes contain DNA strands, DNA has a double helix shape, chromosomes are found in cell nuclei, adenine pairs with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine, and the DNA backbone is made of deoxyribose and phosphate.
