DNA Replication

Front

What is the base pairing rule in DNA?

Back

In DNA, Adenine (A) pairs with Thymine (T) and Guanine (G) pairs with Cytosine (C).

Front

What is the role of DNA Polymerase?

Back

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

Front

What is the complementary strand for the DNA sequence ATCGAG?

Back

The complementary strand is TAGCTC.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

The four nitrogenous bases in DNA are Adenine (A), Thymine (T), Guanine (G), and Cytosine (C).

Front

What is the function of Primase in DNA replication?

Back

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

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 process of DNA replication?

Back

DNA replication is the process by which a cell makes an identical copy of its DNA before cell division.

Front

What is the role of Ligase in DNA replication?

Back

Ligase is the enzyme that joins Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand during DNA replication.

Front

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

Back

The leading strand is synthesized continuously, while the lagging strand is synthesized in short segments called Okazaki fragments.

Front

What is the function of Topoisomerase in DNA replication?

Back

Topoisomerase relieves the tension and prevents supercoiling ahead of the replication fork.
