DNA Replication

In a molecule of double-stranded DNA, the amount of Adenine present is always equal to the amount of

• cytosine
• guanine
• thymine
• uracil

Why is DNA important?

• it is very small and very complicated
• it's in everything
• it serves as the blueprint for traits of all living things
• because we eat it every day for energy

The enzyme that unzips the DNA to prepare for replication

• helicase
• replicase
• polymerase
• synthase

DNA replication results in two DNA molecules,

• each one with two original strands
• each one with two new strands
• each one with one new strand and one original strand
• one with two new strands and the other with two original strands

A process in which DNA has the unique ability to make an exact copy of itself.

• Replication
• Translation
• Transcription

In what phase of the cell cycle does DNA replication take place?

• G1
• S

• nucleus

The concept that DNA is made of two strands running in opposite directions is called:

• Antiparallel
• Isomerism
• Enantiomerism
• S/R Chirality

Small segments of DNA made on the lagging strand are called:

• Okazaki Fragments
• ERVs
• Transposable Elements
• Telomeres
