How does helicase create the replication fork (ie. separate the strands of DNA).

The leading strand runs in which direction?

The lagging strand runs in which direction?

What is added to the leading strand that indicates were DNA synthesis can begin?

On the lagging strand, a primer is added, which enzyme binds here to begin DNA replication?

The lagging strand contains multiple primase sections, this results in discontinuous DNA segments to be added, what are these called?

During DNA replication, when the base pairs are matched, the primers have to be removed by which enzyme?

During DNA replication the new strand must be proof read, which enzyme does the proofreading?

The human genome is contained in which two compartments?

Chromosomes are composed of?

Which protein is responsible for packing DNA into a highly compact state called a nucleosome?

T or F: Histone modifications are reversible?

Which histone modification is responsible for gene silencing?

Which histone modification makes DNA more accessible for transcription factors?

Densely packed regions of chromatin on a chromosome are called?

The genetical active portions of DNA found on a chromosome can be referred to as?

Which type of RNA's function is to regulate gene expression?

Which type of RNA's function is to carry amino acids to the correct nucleotide during protein synthesis?

The process of making RNA from DNA is called?

What type of RNA carries genetic information out of the nucleus?

Which enzyme makes mRNA from a DNA template?

During Transcription, a promoter determines the site of RNA synthesis? What can this segment of a genome called?

After DNA is proofread, the double strands need to be sealed together, what enzyme does this?

One step to making a mature RNA strand is to splice out (remove) what?
