Front

What is the role of DNA polymerase in DNA replication?

Back

DNA polymerase synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides complementary to the template strand.

Front

What is the significance of the antiparallel structure of DNA?

Back

The antiparallel structure allows for the proper base pairing and replication of DNA.

Front

What is the function of thymine in DNA?

Back

Thymine pairs with adenine in DNA, contributing to the genetic code.
