DNA Replication Flashcards
The molecule that carries genetic information for the development and functioning of an organism.
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid)
Discovered the DNA during 1953
Francis Crick and James Watson
Responsible for adding nucleotides to each of the separated DNA strands.
DNA Polymerase
The process continues to happen. The helicase continuously unzips the DNA molecule, and the DNA polymerase continuously adds nucleotides to each of the separated strands.
DNA Copy
a chain of nucleotides.
DNA Sequence
The nucleotides on the same strand are joined together by
phosphate group-sugar backbone.
the nucleotides between the two strands are joined together by
hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases
How many hydrogen bonds do Adenine - Thymine have?
2
How many hydrogen bonds do Cytosine - Guanine have?
3
It unzips the DNA molecule, and the DNA polymerase continuously adds nucleotides to each of the separated strands.
Helicase
Researchers to collect a DNA sample from you so that they could identify the sequence of all the nucleotides in your genetic material.
Whole Genome Sequencing
nucleotide has three main parts:
a phosphate group, a sugar called deoxyribose (Maltose, Lactose, Galactose), and a nitrogenous base (Guanine. Cytosine, Adenine, and Thymine)
