This is the enzyme that "unzips the DNA"
What is helicase?
Step 1
What is helicase unzips the genes, forms a replication fork
Copies from the 5' to the 3' end
What is the leading strand
This is the enzyme that adds new nucleotide bases to the parent or template strand to form a new DNA strand
What is DNA Polymerase
Step 2
RNA primase adds a primer to lagging strand
Needs many primers
What is the lagging strand
Step 3
DNA polymerase adds complimentary bases from 5' to 3' end on leading strand
DNA shape was described by_________and inspired by
Watson and Crick and inspired by Rosalind Franklin
The enzyme that does the proofreading
What is DNA Polymerase
Nucleotide is made of
sugar, base and phosphate group
Step 4
DNA polymerase III adds complimentary bases in the 5' to 3' direction, forming Okazaki fragments
Meaning of semi conservative
the mechanism by which DNA replicates in all known cells, producing two copies that each contain one original (template) strand and one newly synthesized strand
What makes backbone of DNA
sugar and phosphate
Step 5
DNA ligase links Okazaki fragments. You end up with 2 strands "daughter" of DNA from 1 "parent" strand
Two strands of DNA are said to be _________ to each other
anti parallel
