DNA Replication Quiz

What is the role of DNA Polymerase in DNA replication?

• It unwinds the double helix

• It builds the new DNA strand

• It provides free nucleotides

• It joins the leading and lagging strands

What are Free Nucleotides used for in DNA replication?

• To unwind the DNA

• To build the new DNA strand

• To stabilize the double helix

• To create the replication fork

Which strand is copied continuously during DNA replication?

• Template Strand

• Original Strand

• Lagging Strand

• Leading Strand

What is the function of Helicase in DNA replication?

• To unwind the double helix

• To synthesize new DNA

• To provide free nucleotides

• To join Okazaki fragments

What does the Replication Fork refer to?

• The newly synthesized DNA

• The original DNA strand

• The enzyme that builds DNA

• The point where DNA is unwound

What is the Original DNA in the context of replication?

• The newly formed DNA

• The DNA that is being copied

• The DNA that is unwound

• The DNA that is synthesized

Which nitrogenous bases pair together in DNA?
