DNA Replication

Front

What is the structure of a DNA molecule?

Back

A DNA molecule is structured as a double helix.

Front

What is the replication fork?

Back

The replication fork is the area where the double helix of DNA is unwound during replication.

Front

What type of bond joins nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

Nitrogenous bases in DNA are joined by hydrogen bonds.

Front

In which type of organisms is DNA found in the nucleus?

Back

DNA is found in the nucleus of eukaryotic organisms.

Front

Which nitrogenous base does Adenine bond with?

Back

Adenine bonds with Thymine.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of DNA helicase in replication?

Back

DNA helicase unwinds the double helix structure of DNA during replication.

Front

What is the function of DNA polymerase?

Back

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

Front

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

Back

The 5' and 3' ends indicate the directionality of the DNA strands, which is crucial for replication and transcription.

Front

What is semi-conservative replication?

Back

Semi-conservative replication is the process where each new DNA molecule consists of one original strand and one newly synthesized strand.
