Intro to DNA Replication
Cell divide which allows what process to occur
What is DNA replication?
An enzyme unwinds and opens up DNA helix
What is helicase?
End of linear chromosomes
What is telomeres?
Proofs the new added bases
What is DNA polymerase?
Cytosine nucleotides pairs with
What is guanine nucleotides?
Specific nucleotide sequences are called
What is origins of replication?
Telomerase are active in cells
What are germ cells, adult stem cells, and some cancer cells?
A mechanism that repairs incorrect bases
What is mismatch repair mechanism?
Adenine nucleotides pairs with
What is Thymine nucleotides
Three main stages occur during DNA replication
An enzyme that maintains chromosome ends
What is telomerase?
The unwinding of the double strand in order to correct in correct bases
What is nucleotide excision?
Four nucleotides bind a double helix
What is adenine, thymine, cytosine, guanine?
A continuously synthesized strand is
What is leading strand?
Chromosome ends are replicated
What is elongated?
A mistake that was unable to get fixed
What is a mutation?
Nucleotide sequence CTACGTAG
What is the complimentary strand GATGCATC
An enzyme that seals fragment gaps
What is DNA ligase?
Shortened telomeres
What happens when adult somatic cells undergo cell division?
Thymine dimers are corrected by
What is nucleotide excision repair?
