Front

What is the role of DNA polymerase in DNA replication?

Back

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

Front

What is the significance of the base pairing rule in DNA?

Back

It ensures accurate replication and transcription of genetic information.

Front

Back

It unwinds the DNA double helix.

Front

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

Back

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