DNA Replication

Front

What enzyme breaks hydrogen bonds during DNA replication?

Back

Helicase

Front

What is the shape of DNA?

Back

Double helix

Front

What is the role of DNA Polymerase in DNA replication?

Back

DNA Polymerase synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides to the growing chain.

Front

True or False: The new DNA strand formed after DNA replication is an exact copy of its parent strand.

Back

True

Front

Which sequence of DNA bases pairs with CAT TCA CTG?

Back

GTA AGT GAC

Front

What is the function of Primase in DNA replication?

Back

Primase synthesizes a short RNA primer to provide a starting point for DNA synthesis.

Front

What is the role of Ligase in DNA replication?

Back

Ligase joins Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand by forming phosphodiester bonds.

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA?

Back

Nucleotides, which consist of a sugar, a phosphate group, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

Name the four nitrogenous bases in DNA.

Back

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

Front

What is the base pairing rule in DNA?

Back

Adenine pairs with Thymine (A-T) and Cytosine pairs with Guanine (C-G).
