5. These bases are of two different types of molecules: purines and pyrimidines. Purines have
_______________________ ring(s) in their structure, and pyrimidines have _______________________ ring(s) in
their structure.
6. The two bases that are purines are _____________________ and ________________________. These bases are
comprised of ___________ rings.
7. The two bases that are pyrimidines _____________________ and ________________________. These bases are
comprised of ___________ rings.
8. Based on this information, scientist could predict that the base _______________________ pairs with
_______________________ and the base _______________________ pairs with _______________________ in the
formation of the DNA molecule.
This is called complementary base pairs. Thus one strand of DNA is complementary to the other
strand (opposite/matching).
9. The bases are paired by _______________________ bonds along the axis of the molecule.
