DNA structure
The blue pentagon in the image is this type of sugar in DNA
Deoxyribose
This enzyme unzips DNA so that new strands can be made
Helicase
DNA replication can be described as semi ________
conservative
DNA is the instructions to build which macromolecule in our bodies?
Protiens
The yellow circle is this kind of molecule, part of the backbone of DNA
phosphate
This Enzyme adds nucleotides to the complementary strand, making the new strand
DNA polymerase
The part of the nucleotide labeled T is one of four kinds of this, making the rungs of the ladder shape
Nitrogen base
The lagging strand needs its pieces glued together, which is the job of this enzyme
Ligase
While replicating DNA, each replication fork consists of a __________ and __________ strand
Leading and lagging
RNA has a this different kind of sugar, not the same one as DNA.
Ribose
The lagging strand of DNA forms multiple pieces that get synthesized together. The small pieces are named after the scientist who discovered them- called this
Okazaki fragments
When replicating, this enzyme helps DNA from becoming too coiled
Topoisomerase
DNA shape can be described as _________ while RNA shape can be described as ______________
double stranded, single stranded
DNA polymerase doesn't know where to start without the help of these- which tells it where to begin adding new nucleotides
RNA primers
The bubble where DNA starts replicating is referred to as the ________ of replication
Origin
