FULL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
ALREADY PASSED STUDY SHEET

●● Nucleotide
Answer: A building block of DNA, consisting of a five-carbon sugar
covalently bonded to a nitrogenous base and a phosphate group.


●● Double helix
Answer: Shape of DNA


●● Purines
Answer: Heterocyclic compounds consisting of a pyrimidines ring and
an imidazole ring fused together. Double bonds. Adenine(A) and
Guanine(G)


●● Pyrimidines
Answer: Consist of a six membered ring with two nitrogen atoms. The
pyrimidine bases are single bonds. Cytosine(C) and Thymine(T). Plus
Uracil(U) found in RNA.


●● Hydrogen Bonds

, Answer: The complementary base pairs of guanine with cytosine and
adenine with thymine connect to one another using hydrogen bonds.
These hydrogen bonds between complementary nucleotides is what
keeps the two strands of a DNA helix together.


●● Gene
Answer: sequence of DNA that codes for a protein and thus determines a
trait


●● Chromosomes
Answer: threadlike structures made of DNA molecules that contain the
genes


●● Glaister equation
Answer: The equation used to determine the time of death.
(98.4- measured rectal temperature)/(1.5) = approximate hours since
death


●● Algor mortis
Answer: Post-mortem cooling of the body to the surrounding
temperature.


●● Blood Spatter Analyst
