DNA Replication

Front

What base does Guanine bond with in DNA?

Back

Cytosine

Front

What is the complementary DNA strand for ATCGAG?

Back

TAGCTC

Front

If Strand I of a DNA molecule is ATCG, what would normally be included in Strand II?

Back

GAT

Front

What is the result of DNA replication?

Back

Two DNA molecules, each with one new strand and one original strand.

Front

List 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.

Front

What is the function of the helicase enzyme during DNA replication?

Back

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

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, which is crucial for the addition of nucleotides.

Front

What is a replication fork?

Back

A Y-shaped region where the DNA double helix is unwound during replication.
