DNA Replication

Front

What are the building blocks of DNA?

Back

Molecular bases (adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine) are the building blocks of DNA.

Front

Which nitrogenous base pairs with Adenine in DNA?

Back

Thymine pairs with Adenine in DNA.

Front

What type of bond joins nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

Hydrogen bonds join nitrogenous bases in DNA.

Front

What is the complementary DNA strand for ATCGAG?

Back

The complementary strand is TAGCTC.

Front

In DNA, the amount of Adenine is always equal to the amount of which other base?

Back

The amount of Adenine is always equal to the amount of Thymine.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA is a double helix composed of two strands that wind around each other.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

The four nitrogenous bases in DNA are adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine.

Front

What is the role of DNA polymerase in DNA replication?

Back

DNA polymerase synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides complementary to the template strand.

Front

What is the significance of the 5' and 3' ends of a DNA strand?

Back

The 5' and 3' ends indicate the directionality of the DNA strand, which is crucial for replication and transcription.

Front

What is semi-conservative replication?

Back

Semi-conservative replication is the process where each new DNA molecule consists of one original strand and one new strand.
