an enzyme that synthesizes a new strand of DNA complementary to a template strand

• DNA polymerase

• DNA ligase

• helicase

• gyrase

the authors of this experiment?

• Chargaff

• Meselson and Stahl

• G.Mendel

• Schwann and Schleidon

the DNA fragments that are synthesized in short stretches on the lagging strand

• Okazaki fragments

• primer

• DNA polymerase

• helicase

during replication of the 3′ to 5′ strand, the strand that is replicated in short fragments and away from the replication fork

• lagging strand

• leading strand

a short stretch of RNA nucleotides that is required to initiate replication and allow DNA polymerase to bind and begin replication

• primer

• replication fork

• semiconservative replication

• telomerase

the strand that is synthesized continuously in the 5′ to 3′ direction that is synthesized in the direction of the replication fork

• leading strand

• lagging strand

an enzyme that helps to open up the DNA helix during DNA replication by breaking the hydrogen bonds

• helicase

• DNA polymerase

• DNA ligase

• mismatch repair

the method used to replicate DNA in which the double-stranded molecule is separated and each strand acts as a template for a new strand to be synthesized, so the resulting DNA molecules are composed of one new strand of nucleotides and one old strand of nucleotides

• conservative

• semiconservative

• dispersive

the enzyme that catalyzes the joining of DNA fragments together

• ligase

• RNA primer

• Okazaki f

• replication fork
