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

• Ligase links fragments

• Primase building RNA primers

• DNA Polymerase builds bases

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
