Front

What describes DNA molecules after replication?

Back

Two strands- each with one original and one new strand.

Front

What is the correct order of DNA replication steps?

Back

3, 4, 1, 2.

Front

What term describes the process of DNA replication that uses the old strand as a template?

Back

Semi-Conservative.

Front

Why is DNA replication necessary before cell division?

Back

So that every new cell has a complete set of chromosomes (DNA).

Front

What are the two main strands of DNA called?

Back

Parent strand and daughter strand.

Front

What enzyme is responsible for unwinding the DNA double helix during replication?

Back

Helicase.

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 are Okazaki fragments?

Back

Short segments of DNA synthesized on the lagging strand during DNA replication.

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.

Front

What is the function of ligase in DNA replication?

Back

It joins Okazaki fragments together on the lagging strand.
