DNA Replication Practice Flashcard

Front

What are the correct complementary base pairs in DNA?

Back

A - T and G - C are the correct complementary base pairs.

Front

In a double-stranded DNA molecule, which base is always equal in amount to Adenine?

Back

Thymine is always equal in amount to Adenine.

Front

Why is DNA considered important?

Back

DNA serves as the blueprint for traits of all living things.

Front

What is the structure of a DNA molecule?

Back

A DNA molecule is best described as a double helix.

Front

What sequence of DNA bases pairs with ATG TGA CAG?

Back

The sequence that pairs is TAC ACT GTC.

Front

What are the four bases found in DNA?

Back

The four bases are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Cytosine (C), and 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 significance of the double helix structure of DNA?

Back

The double helix structure allows for the stable storage of genetic information and facilitates replication.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA contains deoxyribose sugar and thymine, while RNA contains ribose sugar and uracil.

Front

What is semi-conservative replication?

Back

Semi-conservative replication means that each new DNA molecule consists of one old strand and one new strand.
