Question 1

Answer 1

DNA is a type of macromolecule made out of nucleic acid’s
Info stored in base pairs
Info used to build proteins

Question 2

How do base pairs stay together

Answer 2

Hydrogen bonds

Question 3

Purines

Answer 3

2 rings G/A

Question 4

Pyramidines

Answer 4

1 ring

C/t and u

Question 5

Semi conservative

Answer 5

To parental strands service templates each new strand has one parent and one copy

Question 6

DNA replication

Answer 6

Helicase unzips the double helix

DNA polymerase links corresponding nucleotide starting from the five prime into the three prime

Question 7

Lagging vs leading

Answer 7

DNA polymerase can only work from 5 prime to 3 prime so replaces the leading strand continuously but the lagging strand discontinuously

short Okazaki fragments are formed and they are later synthesized by DNA ligase

Question 8

Anti Parallel

Answer 8

Parallel but chemically different directions

five prime and is phosphate three prime end is sugar
