Q: DNA is composed of a series of carefully placed nucleotides. These nucleotides are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine.

These nucleotides are complimentary, meaning they will ONLY pair up with a particular nucleotide. Which nucleotides will pair up?
- Adenine pairs with Thymine, and Guanine will pair with Cytosine (correct)
- Adenine pairs with Cytosine, and Guanine will pair with Thymine
- Adenine pairs with Cytonine, and Thymine will pair with Guanine
- Guanine pairs with Adenine, and Thymine will pair with Cytonine

Q: How many nucleotides are placed in a DNA sequence to indicate a presence of an amino acid?
- no less than 3 (three), and up to 6 (six) (correct)
- up to 3 (three)
- Between 3 (three) and 2000

Q: Where are proteins created?
- Proteins are created in the ribosomes of the cell. (correct)
- Proteins are created in the nucleus of the cell.
