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 significance of the double-helix structure of DNA?

Back

The double-helix structure allows for the efficient packing of DNA and provides stability and protection for the genetic information.

Front

What is the function of the sugar-phosphate backbone in DNA?

Back

The sugar-phosphate backbone provides structural support and stability to the DNA molecule.

Front

What is complementary base pairing?

Back

Complementary base pairing refers to the specific pairing of nitrogenous bases: Adenine with Thymine and Cytosine with Guanine.
