DNA Basics
This is the monomer for DNA
What is Nucleotide?
This is the shape of DNA
This is the Y-shaped structure where the DNA molecule splits
What is Replication Fork?
Watson and Crick are known for this
What is the Double Helix Model of DNA?
The enzyme that splits DNA molecules into two strands
What is Helicase?
These are the nitrogenous bases of DNA
What is Adenine, Thymine, Guanine, and Cytosine?
This is the part of the nucleotide that is the rungs of a DNA molecule
What is Nitrogenous Base?
These are the strands of DNA that are created during replication and are built on the inside
What are Daughter Strands?
Chargaff's Rule states this
What is the Amount of A = the Amount of T and the Amount of G = the Amount of C?
The enzyme that creates new strands of DNA
What is DNA polymerase?
This is the Base Pair Rule
What is AT + CG?
This is the parts of the nucleotide that are the sides of a DNA molecule
What is Phosphate Group and Deoxyribose Sugar?
This is the strand of DNA that is built in the 5' to 3' direction in one continuous strand
What is Leading Strand?
What is the Double Helix Shape of DNA?
The enzyme that glues together DNA
What is Ligase?
These nucleotides are purines
What is Adenine and Guanine?
This is how we describe the directions of DNA strands in a DNA molecule
This is the name for the characteristic of replication that each new DNA molecule has a parent strand and a a daughter strand
What is Semi-Conservative?
Hershey and Chase proved this by adding radioactive isotopes to a bacteriophage
What is DNA is Genetic Material?
The enzyme that lays down RNA primers
What is Primase?
These nucleotides are pyrimidines
This end of a DNA strand ends in phosphate
What is 5'?
These are the pieces of DNA that are glued together by ligase at the end of replication on the lagging strand
What are Okazaki Fragments?
The photograph that proved the double helix structure of DNA
Photograph 51
The enzyme that stops supercoiling to prep DNA
What is Topoisomerase?
