DNA Replication Daily

The 2 sides of the DNA strand MUST separate BEFORE it can replicate.

• TRUE

• FALSE

New DNA is built on the original strands.

• TRUE

• FALSE

DNA replication is considered to be which of the following due to the reuse of the original strands.

• Fully Conservative

• Semi-Conservative

• Liberal

• Is not conserved

This job of this enzyme is to open or “unzip” the strands of DNA by pulling apart the hydrogen bonds of the bases.

• Helicase

• Primase

• DNA Polymerase

• Ligase

This job of this enzyme is to create temporary RNA primers to give the polymerase enzyme something to attach.

• Helicase

• Primase

• DNA Polymerase

• Ligase

This job of this enzyme is to build DNA by attaching complementary nucleotides to the original strands AND edit the primer to replace with DNA.

• Helicase

• Primase

• DNA Polymerase

• Ligase

This job of this enzyme is to connect or “link” any unattached DNA fragments.

• Helicase

• Primase

• DNA Polymerase

• Ligase

Place the steps of DNA replication in order from start to finish.

• Helicase opens strands

• Primase building RNA primers

• DNA Polymerase builds bases

• Ligase links fragments

Both strands of DNA are replicated in many locations along the chromosome at the same time. What is the name of the opened active sites of replication?

• Replication Bubble

• Replication Fork

• Leading Strand

• Lagging Strand

What is the name of the location point where Helicase is opening up the DNA?

• Replication Bubble

• Replication Fork

• Leading Strand

• Lagging Strand
