Structure
Thymine nucleotides pair with this other nucleotide
Adenine
This enzyme is responsible for unwinding the double helix during DNA replication.
helicase
The place where replication begins
the origin
This part of the cell cycle is when DNA replication occurs
the Synthesis or S phase
An un twisted double helix looks like this piece of equipment that can be climbed
ladder
The direction in which DNA polymerase synthesizes new strands
5' to 3'
This enzyme is responsible for adding nucleotides to the lagging strand during replication
DNA polymerase
This enzyme adds nucleotides to the leading strand
DNA polymerase
This process occurs when the DNA template strand is used to create a complementary strand of DNA
semiconservative replication
DNA helicase can be compare to this as it "unzips" the DNA strands
The strand that is synthesized continuously in the 5' to 3' direction
leading strand
This short piece of RNA is used to start the replication process
RNA primer
This enzyme is responsible for sealing the gaps between the Okazaki fragments
ligase
This process involves correcting mistakes made during DNA replication and can also be done on writing
proofreading
Replication forks look like what letter
Y
The strand that is synthesized in parts in the 5' to 3' direction
lagging strand
The enzyme that removes RNA primers and replaces them with DNA
DNA polymerase
This term refers to the point where the two strands of DNA are separated and replication is actively occurring
replication fork
This process replaces miss paired nucleotides and replaces them with their proper pairs
mismatch repair
The DNA in prokaryotes resembles this shape meaning that it doesn't require telomere to protect the ends
Circle
Create the complimentary strand of DNA for AGTCATGA
TCAGTACT
These are the short fragments of DNA that are synthesized on the lagging strand
Okazaki fragments
This part of the chromosome helps to protect the DNA ends during replication
telomeres
DNA is unwound and bases are moved and properly replaced, this is especially important with thymine dimers
DNA is unwound and bases are moved and properly replaced. This is especially in thymine dimers
Telomeres can be compared to this on the ends of shoe laces that prevent fraying
