Pyrimidines (one ring) thymine and cytosine
chargaff's Rule percentages of guanine and cytosine almost equal in ANY dna sample (aka complementary base pairing)
Prokaryotic DNA single celss that don't have genetic info contained in the nucleus but it is free floating in the cytoplasm
Eukaryotic DNA DNA is in the nucleus in the form of a number of chromosomes
Chromosome structure 1 meeter of DNA in human cell/ Eukaryotic DNA has both DNA and protein/ forms beadlike structure called nucleosome
DNA Replication DNA is unzipped forming 2 strands, each original strand becomes a template
