DNA Flashcard Review

Front

Which enzyme is responsible for adding nucleotides during DNA replication?

Back

DNA Polymerase is the enzyme that adds nucleotides, acting as 'The Builder' in DNA synthesis.

Front

What is the complementary DNA sequence for the strand ATG TGA CAG?

Back

The complementary sequence is TAC ACT GTC.

Front

What is the structure of a DNA molecule?

Back

A DNA molecule is best described as a double helix.

Front

What is the monomer unit of DNA?

Back

The monomer for DNA is a Nucleotide.

Front

Which base does Guanine bond with in DNA?

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 function of DNA Ligase?

Back

DNA Ligase is responsible for joining Okazaki fragments during DNA replication.

Front

What is the role of Primase in DNA replication?

Back

Primase synthesizes a short RNA primer to initiate DNA synthesis.

Front

What is the difference between DNA and RNA?

Back

DNA contains deoxyribose sugar and thymine, while RNA contains ribose sugar and uracil.

Front

What is the process of DNA replication?

Back

DNA replication is the process by which a DNA molecule makes a copy of itself.
