Replication Basics
This is the process of making an exact copy of DNA.
What is DNA Replication?
This type of cell division is crucial for forming gametes, such as egg and sperm.
What is meiosis?
The two strands of DNA separate when these bonds break.
What are base pair bonds?
These proteins control the process of DNA replication.
What are enzymes?
Enzymes ensure the correct nucleotides are added during, replication, but if this goes wrong, this could happen.
What is an error in the DNA sequence?
The Structure of DNA must first do this for replication to begin.
What is unwind?
This process is important for making identical copies of somatic cells.
What is mitosis?
These free molecules pair with the bases along each DNA strand during replication. The monomers of nucleic acids.
What are nucleotides?
This is the function of enzymes during DNA replication.
What is help unwind DNA and build new strands?
If DNA replication errors are not corrected, it can lead to mutations that can affect this process.
What is gene expression?
DNA unwinds to form a straight, ladder-like structure, which is often called this.
What is a molecule?
DNA replication occurs before both types of this cellular process.
What is cell division?
This rule that dictates how bases pair during DNA replication.
What is the base pair rule? Chargaff's rule?!
Enzymes do this to ensure that the correct nucleotides are added to the template strands.
What is proofreading?
If the enzymes responsible for proofreading cannot perform their function correctly, this could result in these.
What are mutations or genetic disorders?
After DNA replication, the result is two molecules that are this compared to the original DNA molecule.
What is identical?
These enzymes correct errors if there are mistakes during DNA replcation.
What is proofreading enzymes?
