DNA and Replication

Front

What is the role of Helicase in DNA replication?

Back

Helicase is the enzyme responsible for unzipping the DNA molecule, separating the two strands to allow replication to occur.

Front

What is the complementary DNA sequence for the strand ATG TGA CAG?

Back

The complementary DNA sequence is TAC ACT GTC.

Front

Which base does Guanine bond with?

Back

Guanine bonds with Cytosine.

Front

What is the function of DNA Polymerase during DNA replication?

Back

DNA Polymerase adds free nucleotides to the growing DNA strand during replication.

Front

What are the four bases of DNA?

Back

The four bases of DNA are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and Guanine (G).

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is structured as a double helix, consisting of two strands that wind around each other.

Front

What is the significance of base pairing in DNA?

Back

Base pairing ensures accurate replication and transcription of genetic information, with A pairing with T and C pairing with G.

Front

What is the process of DNA replication?

Back

DNA replication is the process by which a cell duplicates its DNA before cell division, involving unwinding, base pairing, and synthesis.

Front

What is the role of Primase in DNA replication?

Back

Primase synthesizes a short RNA primer that provides a starting point for DNA Polymerase to begin replication.

Front

What is the difference between leading and lagging strands in DNA replication?

Back

The leading strand is synthesized continuously, while the lagging strand is synthesized in short segments called Okazaki fragments.
