The cards Question Where is the genetic material stored in plant and animal cells? Tap to flip Answer In the nucleus. Question Where is the genetic material stored in bacterial cells? Tap to flip Answer In the cytoplasm. Question What chemical substance is the genetic material of organisms made of? Tap to flip Answer DNA. Question What are the tightly packed structures that the DNA in a cell is wound into called? Tap to flip Answer Chromosomes. Question What is a gene? Tap to flip Answer A short section of DNA that carries the genetic code giving instructions for an inherited feature or process. Question Besides features, what else do genes carry instructions for? Tap to flip Answer Processes. Question What is the name for all of the DNA of an organism? Tap to flip Answer The genome. Question What does the similarity of two genomes indicate? Tap to flip Answer How similar the individuals or species are. Question Is DNA found only in animals? Tap to flip Answer No. DNA carries the genetic code of all living organisms. Question What type of biological molecule is DNA? Tap to flip Answer A nucleic acid. Question How many strands make up a DNA molecule? Tap to flip Answer Two. Question What shape are the two strands of DNA wound into? Tap to flip Answer A double helix. Question Each strand of DNA is a long polymer of what? Tap to flip Answer Nucleotides. Question What is a polymer? Tap to flip Answer A chemical made up of smaller, repeating chemical groups. Question Which four letters code the four types of nucleotide in DNA? Tap to flip Answer A, C, G and T. Question What three parts make up each nucleotide in DNA? Tap to flip Answer A sugar, a phosphate group and a base. Question Which part of a nucleotide differs between the four types of DNA nucleotide? Tap to flip Answer The base (the sugar and phosphate group are the same). Question In DNA, which base pairs with A? Tap to flip Answer T. Question In DNA, which base pairs with C? Tap to flip Answer G. Question Is DNA a living thing or a chemical? Tap to flip Answer A chemical: a molecule made up of smaller chemical groups. Question What does the genome store instructions for cells to make? Tap to flip Answer Structural and functional proteins, including enzymes. Question What are the proteins made from the genome's instructions used for? Tap to flip Answer To build other structures and to control chemical reactions. Question A gene is a section of DNA that holds the genetic code for what kind of substance? Tap to flip Answer A protein. Question What is an enzyme? Tap to flip Answer A functional protein that acts as a biological catalyst, speeding up chemical reactions. Question What are the characteristics of an organism called? Tap to flip Answer Its phenotype. Question Is eye colour determined by the genome only, or by the genome and the environment? Tap to flip Answer By the genome only. Question What influences most characteristics in an organism's phenotype? Tap to flip Answer Its genome and its interaction with its environment. Question Is every feature encoded in the genome visible in the phenotype? Tap to flip Answer No. Some structural and functional proteins the genome codes for are not visible in the phenotype. Where this deck sits in the curriculum Curriculum National Curriculum for England Stage GCSE (Years 10–11) Course GCSE Biology Unit DNA and the genome Exam boards AQA, Edexcel, OCR Tiers foundation and higher England's National Curriculum sets what is taught; the units and their order are Oak National Academy's.

How this deck was checked On 2026-11-02, every card was compared with its source: the lessons of Oak National Academy, a public body funded by England's Department for Education that publishes lessons for the national curriculum. Because the cards come from those lessons, no second source was sought. The comparison was done automatically, not by a teacher, so a card can still be wrong. Flash Feed is not affiliated with any source named here.
