DNA Replication

Front

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

Back

TAC ACT GTC

Front

Which nitrogenous base pairs with Guanine?

Back

Cytosine

Front

What sequence would normally be included in Strand II of a DNA molecule if Strand I is GAT?

Back

GAT

Front

What type of bond joins nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

Hydrogen bonds

Front

What does it mean for DNA replication to be semi-conservative?

Back

Each new DNA molecule consists of one original strand and one new strand.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases found in DNA?

Back

Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, 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 function of helicase during DNA replication?

Back

Helicase unwinds the double helix and separates the two strands of DNA.

Front

What is the significance of the 5' to 3' direction in DNA replication?

Back

DNA strands are synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction, meaning nucleotides are added to the 3' end of the growing strand.

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.
