Question 1: why is DNA semi-conservative?
Answer:
after the helix splits one original strand is kept and another new strand is replaced
Question 2: what is the function of DNA polymerase 3?
Answer:
builds new DNA strands
Question 3: DNA strands compliment eachoher. This means....
Answer:
they are not identical
Question 4: what does DNA strands are "antiparallel" mean
Answer:
they dont go in the actually same direction
Question 5: what are the monomers/bulding blocks of DNA?
Answer:
nucleotides?
Question 6: what parts of the nucleotides make up the rungs of the ladder?
Answer:
nitrogen containing base Question 7: what parts of the nucleotide make up the sides (backbone) of the ladder?
Answer:
phosphate, deoxyribose sugar
Question 8: what is the 5th step to cell relication
Answer:
DNA polymerse buids new strands
Question 9: what way does the leading strand move? Its built in one...
Answer:
5'[3 (quick) fragment
Question 10: what kind of sugar is found in a nucleotide?
Answer:
deoxyribose sugar
Question 11: what way does the lagging strand move?
Answer:
3'5 (requires a slight delay)
Question 12: what is the function of DNA polymerase 1 & 2?
Answer:
are involved in DNA repairing and proofreading
Question 13: what is the function of DNA polymerase 1
Answer:
it could build and refix the holes or gaps and could proofread and fix anything wrong and check for mutation
Question 14: what is the "twisted ladder" shape called?
Answer:
double helix Question 15: What strand is built in many fragments, and a building block for DNA synthesis together thry form short double stranded DNA sections.
Answer:
ozaaki fragment
Question 16: what is the importance of DNA replication?
Answer:
creates a next copy of DNA that have to go into oe of the two new daughter cells when a cell divides.
Question 17: mistakes in DNA strands lead to _____
Answer:
mutations
Question 18: Without DNA replication what would happen?
Answer:
lacks heredity fabric so it wont have the instructions for the protiens to function correctly in the body
Question 19: how many hydrogen bonds exisist between adedenine and thymine?
Answer:
2
Question 20: what is the first step to cell replication?
Answer:
gyrase undwinds the helix
Question 21: replication occurs during the ____ (when cells are growing)
Answer:
interphase
Question 22: what is the 2nd step to cell replication
Answer:
the helicase unzips the helix
Question 23: What is DNA?
Answer:
molecule that carres the genetic instructions used in growth, development, and reproduction of all known living organisms.

Elwin Chargraff
Question 26: DNA starts at the _____
Answer:
origin

Answer:
"the gluer" that helps glue DNA fragments together
Question 28: can cells replicate and divide at the same time?
Answer:
no; too much multitasking
