Why does DNA replicate?

Back

To create another copy for the new cell.

Front

What is the role of tRNA in protein synthesis?

Back

tRNA is involved in carrying amino acids.

Front

What is the result of DNA replication?

Back

Each DNA molecule consists of one new strand and one original strand.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is a double helix composed of nucleotides.

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA?

Back

Nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, phosphate group, and nitrogenous base.

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), Guanine (G).

Front

What base pairs with Adenine in DNA?

Back

Thymine (T) pairs with Adenine (A).

Front

What is the function of DNA polymerase?

Back

DNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes new DNA strands during replication.
