Central Dogma Flashcards
Helicase
The enzyme that breaks the h-bonds of the double helix
Topoisomerase
The enzyme that keeps the replication bubble open
The lagging strand
Fragments of DNA being made in the opposite direction of the replication bubble
Leading strand
the strand that is being made in the same direction as the repication bubble
DNA polymerase 3
Creates strands
DNA polymerase 1
Replaces RNA primer with DNA
DNA Ligase
Joins fagments
Okazaki Fragments
Fragments that make up the lagging strand
Primase
Creates the RNA that will be turned into DNA
What direction is DNA being made
from 5 prime to 3 prime
DNA replication
The process of creating two new identical strands of DNA
Cellular replication basic steps
- Copy DNA
- Separated the copies
- Divide cytoplasm
M phase check points
- Chromosome attached to spindle
- Chromosome separated
G2 check point
DNA replication finished
G1 check point
cell size, sufficient nutrients, undamaged
