Chapter 12 Part One Flashcards
Parental strands are
Antiparallel
The parent strand is running in the opposite direction
Lagging strand
The enzyme that joins the Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand together is
DNA ligase
DNA _______ must remove the short strands of RNA and replace it with DNA
Polymerase
This enzyme creates a short strand of RNA bases for DNA polymerase
DNA primase
Segments of DNA made on the lagging strand are called
Okazaki fragments
Enzyme unwinds the DNA helix and separates the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen containing bases
DNA helicase
Making an exact copy of parent cell DNA
Replication
DNA polymerase pairs
Adenine to thiamine and cytosine to guanine
This enzyme brings the new nucleotides close to there complimentary nucleotide to form new hydrogen bonds and can proofread the newly forming strands and correct mistakes
DNA polymerase
Since DNA has two strands, each strand from the parent can act as a _________ for a new strand of DNA
Template
Replication and the template give us
Semiconservative replication meaning each daughter cell receives DNA that has one parent strand and one new strand
Used to describe the nucleotides that contain the nitrogen containing bases formed into 2⃣ rings are? Name them as well
Purines-adenine, and guanine
A(two rings) always bond to __ (one ring) with __ hydrogen bonds
T, 2
__ ( two rings) always bonds to C(one ring) with __ hydrogen bonds
G, 3
