DNA Structure and Replication

Front

What is the first step in DNA replication?

Back

The first step in DNA replication is to unwind and unzip the two strands.

Front

What are nucleotides made up of?

Back

Nucleotides are made up of a sugar, phosphate, and a nitrogenous base.

Front

What is the name of the enzyme that unwinds and unzips DNA?

Back

The enzyme that unwinds and unzips DNA is called DNA Helicase.

Front

What is the complementary DNA base pair for the sequence ATG TGA CAG?

Back

The complementary DNA base pair for ATG TGA CAG is TAC ACT GTC.

Front

Which nitrogenous base does Guanine bond with?

Back

Guanine bonds with Cytosine.

Front

What are the four nitrogenous bases in DNA?

Back

The four nitrogenous bases in DNA are Adenine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Guanine.

Front

What is the role of DNA polymerase in DNA replication?

Back

DNA polymerase is responsible for adding new nucleotides to the growing DNA strand during replication.

Front

What is the structure of DNA?

Back

DNA has a double helix structure, consisting of two strands that wind around each other.

Front

What is the function of DNA ligase?

Back

DNA ligase is an enzyme that joins Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand during DNA replication.

Front

What is the significance of complementary base pairing in DNA?

Back

Complementary base pairing ensures accurate replication and transcription of genetic information.
