DNA & Replication

Front

What is the role of Helicase in DNA replication?

Back

Helicase is the enzyme responsible for unzipping the double helix structure of DNA, separating the two strands to allow replication.

Front

What are the complementary base pairs in DNA?

Back

Adenine pairs with Thymine, and Cytosine pairs with Guanine.

Front

What is the shape of DNA?

Back

DNA has a double helix shape, resembling a twisted ladder.

Front

List the four nitrogen bases found in DNA.

Back

The four nitrogen bases in DNA are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine.

Front

What is the complementary strand of DNA for the sequence AGCTAGCTAGCT?

Back

The complementary strand is TCGATCGATCGA.

Front

What is the function of DNA Polymerase?

Back

DNA Polymerase is the enzyme that synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides to a growing chain during replication.

Front

What is the significance of the double helix structure of DNA?

Back

The double helix structure allows for the efficient storage of genetic information and the accurate replication of DNA.

Front

What is a nucleotide?

Back

A nucleotide is the basic building block of DNA, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is the process of DNA replication?

Back

DNA replication is the process by which a cell makes an exact copy of its DNA before cell division.

Front

What is the role of Ligase in DNA replication?

Back

Ligase is the enzyme that joins Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand during DNA replication.
