DNA Replication

Front

Where is the DNA located in a cell?

Back

Nucleus

Front

This enzyme is capable of breaking Hydrogen bonds found between the bases of DNA.

Back

DNA Helicase

Front

Which enzyme is responsible for adding nucleotides during DNA replication and proofreading for errors?

Back

DNA Polymerase

Front

What is the role of DNA Primase in DNA replication?

Back

DNA Primase synthesizes a short RNA primer to initiate DNA synthesis.

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

A double helix composed of two strands of nucleotides.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the function of DNA Helicase?

Back

To unwind the DNA double helix by breaking hydrogen bonds between base pairs.

Front

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

Back

It provides structural support and stability to the DNA molecule.

Front

What is semi-conservative replication?

Back

The process where each new DNA molecule consists of one original strand and one new strand.
