What is a nucleotide?

Back

A nucleotide is the basic building block of DNA, consisting of a nitrogenous base, a sugar (deoxyribose), and a phosphate group.

Front

What does semiconservative replication mean in DNA replication?

Back

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 function of the phosphate group in a nucleotide?

Back

The phosphate group links nucleotides together to form the DNA backbone.
