What process is shown in this image?

Back

DNA Replication

Front

The subunit of nucleic acids like DNA and RNA are called:

Back

Nucleotides

Front

During DNA replication, the DNA is first unzipped by an enzyme called:

Back

Helicase

Front

Like RNA, DNA is a type of:

Back

Nucleic Acid

Front

What are the four bases of 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 enzyme helicase?

Back

Helicase unwinds and separates the two strands of DNA during replication.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA is double-stranded and contains thymine, while RNA is single-stranded and contains uracil.
