lesson 3.1: DNA replication Flashcards
the duplication of DNA is called?
replication
what is it called when the DNA double helix unwinds, then separates and breaks the bonds between the based?
unzipping
what is complimentary base pairing?
when new nucleotides move in and pair up with the bases of each TEMPLATE strand of DNA
what is nucleotide bonding?
when the sugar-phosphate bonds between adjacent nucleotides on the new strand complete the molecule. it then winds into a double helix
what do the new produced strands of DNA contain?
an old strand (template) and a new strand
what is the replication called when the new strand and old strand of DNA come together?
semi-conservative replication
how many products come out of DNA replication?
2 complete double stranded DNA molecules
what is transcription?
making RNA from DNA
what is translation?
making proteins from RNA
what is an okasaki fragment?
the DNA after the primer
which way does DNA polymerase replicate towards?
5’ to 3’
