14. Since I cannot see the diagram, I can provide general instructions for labeling the parts of a DNA nucleotide. In a typical diagram of DNA:
- (A) Deoxyribose (sugar) is usually represented as a pentagon (pentose sugar) connected to the phosphate and the nitrogenous base.
- (B) Phosphate is often depicted as a circle or a small sphere connected to the deoxyribose.
- (C) Nitrogenous Base is usually represented as a rectangular shape (or a two-ring structure) attached to the deoxyribose sugar.
15. The number of nucleotides in the diagram would depend on what is specifically illustrated. A nucleotide is made up of a deoxyribose sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base. Count each complete set in the diagram to determine the total number of nucleotides.
16. The four different types of nitrogenous bases in DNA are:
- Adenine (A)
- Thymine (T)
- Cytosine (C)
- Guanine (G)
The base pairing rules in DNA are:
- Adenine pairs with Thymine (A-T)
- Cytosine pairs with Guanine (C-G)
17. In studying heredity, DNA bases play a critical role in determining traits. The sequence of nitrogenous bases in DNA encodes genetic information. Genes, which are segments of DNA, consist of specific sequences of bases that determine the production of proteins. These proteins, in turn, influence an organism's traits. Variations in base sequences can lead to different traits (phenotypes) among individuals, which can be inherited from one generation to another.
