Back

Hydrogen bonds

Front

What is the complementary DNA strand for the sequence ATCGAG?

Back

TAGCTC

Front

In DNA, the amount of Cytosine is always equal to the amount of which other base?

Back

Guanine

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

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

Front

What is the function of helicase in DNA replication?

Back

It unwinds the double helix by breaking hydrogen bonds between base pairs.

Front

What is the significance of the 5' and 3' ends of a DNA strand?

Back

They indicate the directionality of the DNA strand, which is important for replication and transcription.

Front

What is semi-conservative replication?

Back

It is the process by which each new DNA molecule consists of one original strand and one newly synthesized strand.
