3, 4, 1, 2

Front

What is the result of DNA replication?

Back

2 DNA molecules that each contain a strand of the original.

Front

Why does DNA replicate?

Back

To create another copy for the new cell.

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA?

Back

Nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

Name the four nitrogenous bases found in DNA.

Back

Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G).

Front

What base pairs with Adenine in DNA?

Back

Thymine (T).

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 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 replication process.
