DNA Replication

This enzyme is capable of breaking Hydrogen bonds found between the bases of DNA

• Topoisomerase

• DNA Helicase

• DNA Polymerase

• Exonuclease

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

Why is it crucial that living things are able to replicate their DNA?

• Each cell must have its own DNA
• Less copies of DNA are needed when a new cell is created
• A cell needs multiple copies of DNA
• Only muscle cells need DNA
