DNA Replication Flashcards
1
Q
What happens during the ‘S’ phase of the cell cycle?
A
DNA is divided into two separate strands by breaking the Hydrogen bond.
The ‘S’ phase stands for synthesis phase.
2
Q
What enzyme is responsible for constructing the correct nitrogen bases during DNA replication?
A
DNA polymerase.
DNA polymerase plays a critical role in DNA replication.
3
Q
What is the result of the DNA replication process?
A
Two identical DNA strands.
This ensures genetic continuity during cell division.
