I'll solve this DNA and RNA reinforcement worksheet by matching the correct terms from the word bank to each question. Let me go through each question one by one.

Question 1: The molecule of heredity, contains the "blueprint" for building an organism:
Looking at the word bank, "DNA" is clearly the molecule of heredity that contains the genetic blueprint for building an organism.

Question 2: Sugar found in DNA, makes up the sides of the ladder:
The sugar in DNA is "deoxyribose," which forms part of the backbone (sides) of the DNA ladder structure.

Question 3: Sugar alternates with this molecule on the sides of the ladder:
In the DNA backbone, deoxyribose sugar alternates with "phosphate" groups to form the sides of the ladder.

Question 4: These make up the rungs (center) of the DNA ladder, can be 4 different types:
The rungs of the DNA ladder are formed by nitrogenous "bases" - specifically adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine (though only cytosine and thymine are listed in the word bank).

Question 5: DNA is made of repeating subunits called:
DNA is composed of repeating units called "nucleotides," each containing a sugar, phosphate, and base.

Question 6: DNA is in the shape of a:
DNA has a characteristic "double helix" structure, which looks like a twisted ladder.

Now I'll provide the complete answer:

1. The molecule of heredity, contains the "blueprint" for building an organism: DNA
2. Sugar found in DNA, makes up the sides of the ladder: deoxyribose
3. Sugar alternates with this molecule on the sides of the ladder: phosphate
4. These make up the rungs (center) of the DNA ladder, can be 4 different types: bases
5. DNA is made of repeating subunits called: nucleotides
6. DNA is in the shape of a: double helix
