DNA Replication

Front

What is the complementary DNA sequence for the strand ATG TGA CAG?

Back

TAC ACT GTC

Front

What enzyme is responsible for unzipping the DNA during replication?

Back

Helicase

Front

What would normally be included in strand II of a DNA molecule if strand I is represented?

Back

GAT

Front

In double-stranded DNA, which nitrogen base pairs with adenine?

Back

Thymine

Front

What are the four nitrogen bases found in DNA?

Back

Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine

Front

What is the role of DNA polymerase in DNA replication?

Back

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

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is a double helix composed of two strands of nucleotides twisted around each other.

Front

What is the significance of the 5' and 3' ends of a DNA strand?

Back

The 5' end has a phosphate group, and the 3' end has a hydroxyl group, determining the direction of DNA synthesis.

Front

What is the function of ligase in DNA replication?

Back

Ligase joins Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand during DNA replication.

Front

What is the difference between leading and lagging strands in DNA replication?

Back

The leading strand is synthesized continuously, while the lagging strand is synthesized in short segments called Okazaki fragments.
