DNA Replication Flashcards
What is semi-conservative replicaiton?
What is the function of a replication fork?
Origins of Replication
How does the old replication theory violate semi-conservative replication?
Events at the Replication Fork
Template strand for the leading strand is always
Is the template strand for leading strand is always 3’ to 5’ going into the fork
The template for Lagging strand is always…
The template for Lagging strand is always 5’ to 3’ going into the fork
Discontinuous synthesis
Discontinuous synthesis — Okazaki Fragments — Lagging Strand
Okazaki Fragments move opposite direction of the…
Leading strand.
Okazaki Fragments move out of the fork!
