DNA Basics
This is what DNA Stands for.
What is DeoxyriboNucleic Acid?
These are the 4 nitrogen bases found in DNA.
(full name)
What is Guanine, Thymine, Cytosine, and Adenine?
This is the nitrogen base that pairs with Cytosine.
What is Guanine?
This is the process of making more DNA.
What is DNA Replication?
This is the enzyme that "unzips" the double helix for DNA replication.
What is DNA Helicase?
This is the shape of DNA molecule.
What is Double Helix?
This the sequence on the opposite strand of
T G A G C T G A A.
_____ _____ ____
What is ACT CGA CTT?
This is the type of nitrogen base with 2 rings and includes A and G.
What is a purine?
This is the phase of Interphase in which DNA Replication occurs in the cell cycle.
What is the S Phase?
This is the enzyme that adds free nucleotides to the opened DNA Strand.
What is DNA polymerase?
This is the monomer of DNA.
What is a nucleotide?
This is the name (vocab term) for how nitrogen bases pair up with each other.
What is Complementary Base Pairing?
This is the type of nitrogen base with 1 ring and includes C and T.
What is a pyrimidine?
This is where DNA replication occurs in the cell.
What is the nucleus?
This is the enzyme that checks for errors in DNA replication.
What is DNA polymerase?
These are the 3 parts of the nucleotide.
What is a phosphate group, sugar, and nitrogen base?
This is the macromolecule that the sequence of nitrogen bases code for in the body.
What is a protein?
This is the number of hydrogen bonds between A and T.
What is 2?
This is the area where strands separate in DNA Replication.
What is a replication fork?
This is the function of DNA Helicase.
What is... opening/separating the DNA strands for replication?
This is the name of the sugar found in DNA.
What is deoxyribose?
This is what happens when the order of bases are not correct.
What is a mutation, defect or unusual trait (incorrect protein is made)?
This is the weak attraction that holds purine and pyrimidine nitrogen bases together in the center of the "rungs" of the ladder.
What is a Hydrogen Bond?
This is the reason cells need to make more DNA using the DNA Replication process.
What is... to make enough DNA for cell division? (so 2 identical cells can be made with the exact DNA)
This is the 2 functions of DNA Polymerase.
What is
1. Add nucleotides to the open strand
2. Check for errors
