DNA Replication Amoeba Sisters

What happens in the Synthesis phase?

• makes DNA

• breaks down proteins

• divides the cell

• repairs RNA

What happens in checkpoint G₁? pick 2

• checks if the cell is growing well

• checks to see if DNA was replicated correctly

• does the cell have everything it needs to continue

• check to see if DNA is damaged

What happens in checkpoint G₂? pick 2

• checks if the cell is growing well

• checks to see if DNA was replicated correctly

• does the cell have everything it needs to continue

• check to see if DNA is damaged

Where does replication take place?

• in the nucleus of a eukaryotic cell

• in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell

• in the mitochondria of a prokaryotic cell

• in the ribosome of a eukaryotic cell

A process in which DNA has the unique ability to make an exact copy of itself. (a)  

• Replication

• Translation

• Transcription

• F

• G

• H

The picture below shows the steps of DNA replication beginning with step one and ending with step three.

​Because you are reusing the old, or parent, DNA strand DNA replication is said to be

• Semi- Conservative

• Semi-discontinuous

• Continuous

• Fully-Conserveative

The goal of DNA replication is

• to make proteins in the cell

• to divide cells

• to make an identical copy of DNA

• to fix mistakes in the DNA

What process is shown in the image?

• Transcription

• Translation

• DNA Replication

• DNA Transformation

Arrange the step in DNA replication in order

• primer binding

• 1

• elongation

• 3

• replication fork formation or unzipping

• 4

• termination
