Front

What are the three parts of a nucleotide?

Back

Sugar, phosphate, Nitrogen base

Front

What are the Base-Pair rules for DNA?

Back

True

Front

What is DNA?

Back

DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) is the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for life.

Front

What is the role of DNA polymerase in DNA replication?

Back

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

Front

What is the difference between leading and lagging strands in DNA replication?

Back

The leading strand is synthesized continuously, while the lagging strand is synthesized in short segments called Okazaki fragments.

Front

What is the function of helicase in DNA replication?

Back

Helicase unwinds the DNA double helix, separating the two strands to allow replication.

Front

What is semi-conservative replication?

Back

Semi-conservative replication is the process where each new DNA molecule consists of one original strand and one new strand.
