DNA Replication

Front

Why is DNA important?

Back

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

Front

What does DNA replication result in?

Back

Two DNA molecules, each with one new strand and one original strand.

Front

Guanine bonds with which nitrogenous base?

Back

Cytosine.

Front

What type of bond joins nitrogenous bases?

Back

Hydrogen bonds.

Front

What is the enzyme that unzips the DNA for replication?

Back

Helicase.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, Guanine.

Front

What is the role of DNA polymerase in replication?

Back

It synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

A double helix composed of two strands of nucleotides.

Front

What is the function of the DNA's sugar-phosphate backbone?

Back

It provides structural support and stability to the DNA molecule.

Front

What is semi-conservative replication?

Back

Each new DNA molecule consists of one original strand and one newly synthesized strand.
