Intro DNA Replication

Replicate the following strand of DNA:

AAT-CAT-GGA

• AAT-CAT-GGA

• TTA-GTA-CCT

• UUA-GUA-CCU

• GGA-TAU-CUA

The enzyme that unzips the DNA to prepare for replication

• helicase
• replicase
• polymerase
• synthase

DNA replication results in two DNA molecules,

• each one with two original strands
• each one with two new strands
• each one with one new strand and one original strand
• one with two new strands and the other with two original strands

A process in which DNA has the unique ability to make an exact copy of itself.

• Replication
• Translation
• Transcription

What term names the process during which DNA is copied prior to cell division?

• DNA polymerase
• DNA replication
• DNA regneration
• DNA redistribution

What is the purpose of DNA replication?

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

Which of the following complementary base pairs are correct?

• A  - T
• A - G
• T - C
• G - U

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

Which enzyme is responsible for adding nucleotides?

• Topoisomerase
• DNA Polymerase
