DNA Replication

Front

What is the directionality of DNA?

Back

DNA is said to be anti-parallel, meaning the two strands run in opposite directions.

Front

What is the role of RNA Primase in DNA replication?

Back

RNA Primase lays down RNA primer for new nucleotide bases during DNA replication.

Front

What type of sugar is found in DNA?

Back

The sugar in DNA is deoxyribose.

Front

What is the complementary nucleotide for Cytosine in DNA?

Back

The complementary nucleotide for Cytosine is Guanine.

Front

Which enzyme removes the RNA primer during DNA replication?

Back

DNA Polymerase is the enzyme that removes the RNA primer.

Front

What is the function of DNA Helicase?

Back

DNA Helicase unwinds the original DNA strand during replication.

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA?

Back

The building blocks of DNA are nucleotides.

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 base pairing rule in DNA?

Back

Adenine pairs with Thymine, and Cytosine pairs with Guanine.

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.
