What does DNA stand for
Deoxyribonucleic acid
What is the structure of the DNA Nucleotide
-Deoxyribose- 5 carbon sugar -Phosphate Group - Nitrogenous base
Adenine always equals what?________
Thymine
Guanine always equals ________?
Cytosine
The sugar-phosphate component of each nucleotide make up the _______
Handrails
pairs of __ bases,one from each strand, oppose each other to form the _____
(N), Steps
What is the base pair of “A”
“T”
What is the base pair of “C”
“G”
What is the base pair of “T”
“A”
What is the base pair of “G”
“C”
The base pair Adenine pairs with what?
Thymine
The base pair Guanine pairs with what?
Cytosine
In the context of DNA what does anti-parallel mean
They form in opposite combinations. They also run in opposite directions. ex: AT,GC,TA
How can you determine what prime end is what?
one end is attached to a phosphate group attached to carbon #5 and one is attached to carbon #3 (hydroxyl)
What is the step in leading strand DNA replication: DNA denatures to form two single strands that can replicate
1st step
What is the step in leading strand DNA replication: The enzyme DNA polymerase is able to catalyze new DNA.
2nd
As nucleotides align, they are added to the growing end of the new strand by the ____________
polymerase
this model of replication: -Strands separate -Serve as a template for ordering nucleotides -one at a time nucleotides line up and are joined by phosphodiester bond -Then Forms Daughter Molecules
The semiconservative model of replication
What stage off the cell cycle does DNA replicate?
S phase of interphase.
_______ &_______Denatures original strands
DNA topoisomerase,DNA helicase.
What does DNA single-strand binding proteins do?
Prevents Reformation.
___ ________ catalyzes the elongation of the new DNA
DNA polymerase
___ _________Adds nucleotides to the end of an existing chain that is base-paired with the template strand
DNA Polymerase
___ _________ Proofreads and corrects each new nucleotide against the template nucleotide as it is added
DNA polymerase
