AP DNA Replication

This enzyme is capable of breaking Hydrogen bonds found between the bases of DNA

• Topoisomerase

• DNA Helicase

• DNA Polymerase

• Exonuclease

This enzyme is placed behind the replication fork and ensures supercoiling does not occur

• Topoisomerase

• DNA Helicase

• DNA Polymerase

• Exonuclease

What is the purpose of DNA replication?

• Cut the DNA 
• Make more cells
• Apoptosis
• Duplicate the DNA

Which enzyme seals okazaki fragments together on the lagging strand?

• Topoisomerase
• Helicase
• Polymerase
• Ligase

What do we call DNA replication since new DNA has 1 parent strand and 1 new strand?

• Conservative 
• Semiconservative 
• Dispersive

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 

Which enzyme is responsible for adding nucleotides?

• Topoisomerase
• DNA Polymerase
• Ligase
• Primase

The separation of the two single strands of DNA creates a ‘Y’ shape? What is this area called?

• enzyme

• unzip

• A replication fork

Which enzyme is responsible for checking DNA for errors, and fixing it?

• DNA Polymerase

• DNA Primase

• DNA Helicase

• RNA Polymerase
