DNA Replication test Flashcards
Where is DNA found
In nucleus
When does the replication occur?
When the cell is ready to split
Bands are apart of what structure and are?
DNA structure and are complementary (always the same)
Each strand in the structure is…?
An inverse replica of the other (template)
What are the six proteins of the DNA replication
Helicase, topoisomerase, binding proteins, primase, DNA polymerase, DNA ligase
What are the five terms?
- Parent strand
- Daughter strand
- Leading strand
- Lagging strand
- Replication fork
What does the helicase do?
Unwinds and unzips the double helix
What does the topoisomerase do?
Relieves supercool by cutting and reconnecting the sugar phosphate backbone
What does the binding proteins do?
Single strand binding proteins keep helices from binding
What does the primase do?
Short strand of RNA that serves as a starting point for DNA synthesis.
Must go from 5’ to 3’
What does the DNA polymerase do?
Enzyme that connects free nuecleotides to the parent strand forming a complementary strand
What is the adj for leading strand?
Continuous
Lagging strand
Fragmented
What does the DNA ligase do?
Joins single chain links between Okazaki fragments. Completes short patch DNA synthesis occurring in DNA repair process
What are the 4 parts of the membrane function?
Diffusion 1. Osmosis Permeability Transport 1. Passive transport A. Facilitated diffusion 2. Active transport Movement
Def of diffusion ?
The process by which molecules of a substance move from areas of higher concentration of that substance to areas of lower concentration
Def of permeable?
The membrane that allows substances to pass through
Def of Impermeable?
A membrane that does not allow substances pass through
Def of selectively permeable?
Some substances can pass through a membrane while Other substances are blocked
What is osmosis
The diffusion of water through a selectively permeable membrane
What is passive transport
The movement of substances through the phospholipid bilayer portion of the membrane without energy
