Transcribed Image Text:**1. Fill in the blanks**
- This molecule is a purine
- This molecule is part of the sugar-phosphate backbone
- This bond is broken during replication
- This molecule is a sugar
The image includes a diagram of the DNA double helix structure. The diagram highlights the following features:
- **A**: Points to one of the nitrogenous bases in the helix, which could represent either adenine (A) or guanine (G), both of which are purines.
- **B, C, D, E**: Indicate different parts of the DNA structure. Typically, labels in DNA diagrams could refer to:
- Part of a nucleotide (such as a sugar or phosphate group).
- Specific hydrogen bonds between complementary bases, which are disrupted during DNA replication.
The diagram illustrates the base pairing rules and the double helix's sugar-phosphate backbone.
