DNA Replication

Which sequence of DNA bases would pair with this partial strand
CAT TCA CTG

• ATG TGA CAG
• TAC ACT GTC
• GTA AGT GAC
• CAT TCA CTG

Which of the following units are repeatedly joined together to form a strand of DNA?

• amino acids
• nucleotides
• fatty acids
• polysaccharides

The enzyme that unwinds 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
• G2
• M

Why does DNA replicate?

• To create another copy for the new cell
• To create a duplicate copy in case the original gets damaged
• To create a new copy to replace the damaged original

What is the backbone of DNA made of?

• Nitrogen bases
• Amino acids
• Double H
• Sugar & Phosphate

Why is it crucial that living things are able to replicate their DNA?

• Each cell must have its own DNA
• Less copies of DNA are needed when a new cell is created
• A cell needs multiple copies of DNA
• Only muscle cells need DNA 

If the percentage of DNA is made of 30% Thymine, what is the correct percentage of Guanine?

• 30
• 15
• 20
• 60
