Front

What type of bond joins nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

Front

Is DNA polymerase responsible for opening DNA for replication?

Back

False

Front

Which enzyme adds nucleotides during DNA replication?

Back

DNA Polymerase

Front

What is the result of DNA replication?

Back

Each DNA molecule has one new strand and one original strand.

Front

What is the last step of DNA replication?

Back

Ligase knits together fragments on the lagging strand.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

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

Front

What is the role of DNA helicase in DNA replication?

Back

DNA helicase unwinds the double helix structure of DNA.

Front

What is the function of RNA primase in DNA replication?

Back

RNA primase lays down an RNA primer for new nucleotide bases.

Front

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

Back

Leading strand is synthesized continuously, while lagging strand is synthesized in fragments.

Front

What is the role of ligase in DNA replication?

Back

Ligase connects Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand.
