DNA 2021 Flashcards
Be able to complete the central dogma of biology diagram
Use you notes
What unzips the DNA helix to start replication process ?
DNA Helicase
What is replaced by in RNA?
Thymine (T)
Why is there a lagging strand in DNA replication?
DNA Polymerse cannot work backwards
Replicates discontinuously - - but breaks up into many small Okazaki fragments
What creates new DNA strands?
DNA Plymerase
Be able to match DNA nucleotides in a DNA strand
C. G. A. T. T. C. A. A,
G. C. T. A. A. G. T. T.
How can mutation be a good thing? AND a bad thing?
Good - - Can develop advantageous traits
Bad - - Can develop genetic diseases (Cancer)
Why do we refer to DNA replication as semi conservative?
Each strand is HALF of the original parent DNA
