3.1 DNA Replication Practice Test Flashcardizz

Front

What is the structure of a DNA molecule?

Back

A DNA molecule is best described as a double helix.

Front

What is a nucleotide?

Back

A nucleotide is the building block (monomer) of nucleic acids.

Front

What are the monomers that make up DNA?

Back

DNA is a polymer made of nucleotides.

Front

In double-stranded DNA, what is the relationship between Adenine and Thymine?

Back

In a molecule of double-stranded DNA, the amount of Adenine present is always equal to the amount of Thymine.

Front

What does DNA stand for?

Back

DNA stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid.

Front

What are the four bases of DNA?

Back

The four bases of DNA are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine.

Front

What is the function of DNA?

Back

The function of DNA is to store and transmit genetic information.

Front

What is the process of DNA replication?

Back

DNA replication is the process by which a DNA molecule makes a copy of itself.

Front

What enzyme is primarily responsible for DNA replication?

Back

The enzyme primarily responsible for DNA replication is DNA polymerase.

Front

What is the role of helicase in DNA replication?

Back

Helicase unwinds the double helix structure of DNA during replication.
