It is a thread-like body that carries genes in linear order.
Chromosome
It is an area of the chromosome where traits are found.
Loci
It is responsible for the coiling of DNA.
Histones
They are double-stranded and anti-parallel strands.
DNA
Parts of Nucleotide (3)
Nitrogenous bases, Pentose Sugar, Phospate
Types of Nitrogenous bases (5)
Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, Thymine, Uracil
Nitrogenous Bases A and G are considered as?
Purine
Nitrogenous Bases C and T are considered as?
Pyrimidine
Enzymes needed in DNA Replication (6)
Topoisomerase, Helicase, Primase, DNA Polymerase, Exonuclease, Ligase
This is responsible for the unwinding of DNA
Topoisomerase
This is responsible for the unzipping of DNA which leads to the formation of replication fork.
Helicase
This is responsible for the adding of primer to ready DNA.
Primase
This is responsible for the elongation of DNA. It synthesizes the leading strand and supplies the complementary strand.
DNA Polymerase
This is responsible for the proofreading of the strands.
Exonuclease
This is responsible for the joining of okazaki fragments.
Ligase
