1. Which of the following are components of a DNA nucleotide?
Phosphate group, nitrogenous base, deoxyribose sugar
2. Complementary base pairing is key to the genetic code. In a DNA
molecule, the nitrogenous base cytosine pairs with _____ guanine
3. The complex formed by DNA wrapped around histone proteins is
called chromatin

genetic material? DNA
, 12. In the genetic code, an amino acid is encoded by_____ three
nucleotides
