DNA Replication

Front

What type of organisms have DNA located in the nucleus?

Back

Eukaryotes

Front

What type of bond joins nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

Hydrogen bonds

Front

During which phase of the cell cycle does DNA replication occur?

Back

S phase

Front

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

Back

TAC ACT GTC

Front

What is the complementary strand for the DNA sequence ATCGAG?

Back

TAGCTC

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases found in DNA?

Back

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

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, meaning nucleotides are added to the 3' end of the growing strand.

Front

What is the function of helicase during DNA replication?

Back

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

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.
