Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

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

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 structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is a double helix composed of two strands of nucleotides.

Front

What is the function of the helicase enzyme during DNA replication?

Back

Helicase unwinds the DNA double helix, separating the two strands.

Front

What is the significance of the 5' and 3' ends of a DNA strand?

Back

They indicate the directionality of the DNA strand, which is important for replication and transcription.
