DNA Structure and Replication

Front

What is the role of DNA Polymerase in DNA replication?

Back

DNA Polymerase is the enzyme responsible for adding nucleotides to the growing DNA strand during replication.

Front

Which nitrogen base pairs with Guanine in DNA?

Back

Cytosine pairs with Guanine.

Front

If one strand of DNA has the sequence AATTGGCC, what is the complementary strand?

Back

The complementary strand is TTAACCGG.

Front

What constitutes the rungs of the DNA ladder?

Back

The rungs of the DNA ladder are made up of nitrogen bases.

Front

What are nucleotides?

Back

Nucleotides are the basic building blocks of DNA, consisting of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogen base.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is a double helix formed by two strands of nucleotides twisted around each other.

Front

What is the function of Primase in DNA replication?

Back

Primase synthesizes a short RNA primer that provides a starting point for DNA synthesis.

Front

What is the significance of the sugar-phosphate backbone in DNA?

Back

The sugar-phosphate backbone provides structural support and stability to the DNA molecule.

Front

What are the four nitrogen bases found in DNA?

Back

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

Front

How do DNA strands run in relation to each other?

Back

The two strands of DNA run in opposite directions, known as antiparallel.
