Phases: Which is the first step?

• DNA Helicase unwinds original DNA strand

• RNA Primase lays down RNA primer for new nucleotide bases.

• DNA polymerase builds new strands by bring in new nucleotide bases.

• Ligase knits together fragments on lagging strand

Phases: Which is the second step?

• DNA Helicase unwinds original DNA strand

• RNA Primase lays down RNA primer for new nucleotide bases.

• DNA polymerase builds new strands by bring in new nucleotide bases.

• Ligase knits together fragments on lagging strand

Sometimes, DNA is called "semi-conservative." Why might this be?

• The old strand is "conserved" and used to make the new strands
• Uracil is "conserved" in that it is only used to make the new strands
• ATP is "conserved" via the usage of facilitated diffusion
• Ligase is "conserved" in that it is denatured by the process

Each DNA molecule created contain one NEW strand and one OLD strand

• True

• False

Which of the following is a reason for DNA replication in skin cells?

• to produce identical daughter skin cells

• to enable the skin cells to make more proteins

• to allow the skin cells to adapt to a changing environment

• to ensure daughter skin cells will have higher genetic diversity
