1 Statisical Analysis
Working with data DNA sructure
2 Cells
3.3.1 Outline DNA nucleotide sructure in terms of sugar (deoxyribose), base and phosphate.
Cell theory
Prokaryotic cells
A nucleotide is made of the sugar deoxyribose, a base (which can be either adenine, guanine, cytosine or thymine) and a
Eukaryotic cells
phosphate group. Below is a representation of a nucleotide. 
Membranes
Cell division
3.3.2 State the names of the four bases in DNA.
3 Chemical elements and water
Chemical elements & water
Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine and Thymine.
Carbohydrates, lipids & proteins
Dna structure
Dna replication 3.3.3 Outline how DNA nucleotides are linked together by covalent bonds into a single srand.
Transcription & translation
Enzymes Below is a diagram showing how nucleotides are linked to one another to form a strand. A covalent bond forms between
Cell respiration the sugar of one nucleotide and the phosphate group of another nucleotide.
Photosynthesis

4 Genetics 3.3.4 Explain how a DNA double helix is formed using complementary base pairing and hydrogen
Chromosomes, genes, alleles & mutations bonds.
Meiosis
Theoretical genetics DNA is made up of two nucleotide strands. The nucleotides are connected together by covalent bonds within each strand.
Genetic engineering & biotechnology The sugar of one nucleotide forms a covalent bond with the phosphate group of another. The two strands themselves are
connected by hydrogen bonds. The hydrogen bonds are found between the bases of the two strands of nucleotides.
5 Ecology and evolution Adenine forms hydrogen bonds with thymine whereas guanine forms hydrogen bonds with cytosine. This is called

complementary base pairing. Below is a digram showing the molecular structure and bonds within DNA. 
The greenhouse effect
