Where is a bacteria's DNA located?

Back

In bacteria, DNA is located in the nucleoid region, not in a nucleus.

Front

What is the structure of the DNA double helix?

Back

The DNA double helix is composed of two antiparallel strands.

Front

What are the pyrimidine bases found in DNA?

Back

The pyrimidine bases in DNA are cytosine and thymine.

Front

Which base does adenine bond with in DNA?

Back

Adenine bonds with thymine.

Front

What is the first stage of DNA replication called?

Back

The first stage of DNA replication is called initiation.

Front

What are the two main types of nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

The two main types of nitrogenous bases in DNA are purines (adenine and guanine) and pyrimidines (cytosine and thymine).

Front

What is the role of helicase in DNA replication?

Back

Helicase unwinds the DNA double helix, separating the two strands.

Front

What is the function of DNA polymerase?

Back

DNA polymerase synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides complementary to the template strand.

Front

What is the significance of the antiparallel structure of DNA?

Back

The antiparallel structure allows for proper base pairing and replication of DNA.

Front

What are Okazaki fragments?

Back

Okazaki fragments are short sequences of DNA synthesized on the lagging strand during DNA replication.
