What is unwinding or unzipping the DNA molecule?
the enzyme that unzips the DNA molecule for replication
What is helicase?
This scienctist discovered that DNA has 2 strands
Who is Rosalind Franklin?
The number of strands in a DNA molecule
What is 2?
this holds the nitrogenous bases together
What are hydrogen bonds
the bases in a DNA molecule are arranged based on this
What is complimentary base pairing?

These 2 scientists are credited with creating the DNA model
Who are James Watson & Francis Crick?
The 4 nitrogenous bases in DNA
What are adenine, thymine, guanine, and cytosine.
these are nitrogenous bases that are a doouble ring
What are purines?
the base that pairs with thymine
What is adenine?
the strand that replicates with Okazaki fragments
What is the lagging strand?
the enzyme that builds the new DNA strand in replication
What is DNA Polymerase?
the blue triangle in between the 2 strands
What is helicase?

What is 3?
The chain of phosphate and sugars in a DNA molecule
What is the backbone of the DNA molecule?
the direction of DNA replication
What is 5' to 3'?
the enzyme that repairs or glues the gaps in the new DNA strands
What is ligase?
the name of the area that forms when the double helix separates during replication
What is a replication fork?
DNA stands for .....
What is deoxyribonucleic acid?
In a DNA Molecule mad up of 200 base pairs, the number of adenin bases if there are 58 cytosine bases
What is 42 adenine bases?
(cytosine = 58, guanine = 58; 58 +58 = 116
200-116 = 84; 84/2 = 42 adenine and 42 thymine)
The part indicated by letter D.
What is a nucleotide?
the new strand base sequence if the original strand is
A T G T T A C C G G A A G
What is T A C A A T G G C C T T C?
attaches to the separated strands to make sure they don't try to reconnect during replication
What is single strand binding proteins? (SSBP's)
