biology quiz- DNA Replication Flashcards
what are the backbones to a DNA ?
deoxyribose sugar and phosphate
what are their names?
a - t
c - g
adenine - thymine
cytosine - guanine
what is a nucleo tide made up of
deoxyribose sugar, phosphate, one base
what are the bases?
adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine
explain the process of breaking replicating DNA
1) helicase, enzyme, unzips original DNA
2) all free bases connect with each other
3) polymerase, enzyme, helps line up the bases and proof reads them. Also connects the new bases with the old bases
4) two identical DNA’s
what does the primer do
starts the point for replication
what bond connects the bases together
hydrogen
what type of bond connect the deoxyribose sugars to the phosphate groups?
nitrogen
Whats the shape of a DNA
double helix
who found out/helped find out about DNA
Rosalind Franklin, James Watson, and Francis Crick
enzyme thing (easp)
enzyme, activation site, substrate, product
what is a DNA
a strand of nucleo tides
what makes you, you?
the order of the bases
