Chaoter 14 Flashcards
nucleotides are the building blocks of..
DNA. 5 carbon, and phosphate group
enzymes,
DNA polymerase, helicase, primase, and ligase
helicase
unzipping DNA, breaks though hydrogen bonds that hold them together
dna polymerase
builder, replicates to build new strand of DNA
primase
initializer, makes primer so primase knows where to start
ligase
glues DNA segments together
step 1:
helicase unzips DNA
step 2:
Single stranded binding proteins bind to keep DNA separate
step 3
topoisomerase keeps DNA from super coiling
step 4
primase makes DNA primers on both strands
how do the strands lie?
anti-parallel, because it has to go five prime to three prime
semi constructive
copy of DNA that has one old strand and one new strand
