DNA stuff Sc.912.L.16.3

The method of DNA replication is known as:

• Semi-conservative
• Conservative
• Dispersive
• Complementary

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

DNA Replication is the process of turning 1 DNA molecule into...

• 1 DNA molecule
• 2 DNA molecules
• 3 DNA molecules
• 4 DNA molecule

The enzyme that unzips the DNA to prepare for replication ("The Unzipper") 

• 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

In what part of Interphase does DNA replication take place?

• G1
• S
• G2
• M

The enzyme that comes first temporarily gets the single strand ready to add new nucleotides is called "The Initializer" or 

• Helicase
• Primase
• Polymerase
• Nuclease

What part of the cell cycle is the DNA in a cell's nucleus replication?

• Prophase
• Metaphase
• Interphase
• Telophase

Which enzyme is responsible for adding nucleotides ("The Builder")?

• Topoisomerase
• DNA Polymerase
• Ligase
• Primase
