DNA REPLICATION Flashcards
What does DNA being semi-conservative mean?
It means DNA makes a new strand and keeps an old one
Where does DNA replication take place in eukaryotic cells?
In the Nucleus
Where does DNA replication take place in Prokaryote cells?
The cytoplasm
How is DNA replication similar to Transcription?
They both use DNA and RNA, Both occur in the nucleus
How is DNA replication different from Transcription?
Replication is another strand of DNA, Transcription turns from DNA to RNA.
What does the structure of DNA look like?
It looks like a double helix/ a ladder.
What are the Nitrogenous bases in DNA?
Thymine, Adenine, Cytosine, Guanine.
What is the monomer of DNA
A nucleotide
How many hydrogen bonds hold together Adenine and Thymine
2 hydrogen bonds
How many hydrogen bonds hold together Guanine and Cytosine
3 hydrogen bonds
What does DNA is anti-parallel mean?
The DNA strands run in different directions/ Do not face the same way.
How is DNA different from RNA?
DNA is double stranded, has Thymine instead of Uracil
