"ASE-Y" does it
Enzyme that "unzips" nucleotides by breaking hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous bases.
What is Helicase?
This is the location where replication begins and continues outward in both directions.
What is an origin?
The proteins around which DNA is coiled to form a chromosome
What are Histones?
Enzyme that assembles new nucleotides during replication in a 5’-3’ direction
What is DNA Polymerase?
Its THIS characteristic of DNA base pairs that allows the accurate matching of ONLY A with T and ONLY G with C.
What is COMPLEMENTARY?
Term that refers to the double wrap of DNA around 8 histone proteins (“beads” on a string)
What is a Nucleosome?
This enzyme "untwists" the helix before unzipping of nucleotides occurs.
What is Topoisomerase?
These are pieces of newly replicated DNA that make up the lagging strand.
What are Okazaki Fragments?
Bonds that join the SUGAR of one nucleotide to the PHOSPHATE of the next nucleotide.
What are Co-Valent bonds?
A small chunk of RNA is laid down by THIS enyzme to begin the replication of a section of DNA.
What is Primase?
This is the DIRECTION that newly formed DNA is assembled during replication.
What is the 5' to 3' direction?
She studied X-Ray Crystallography and produced images critical for the discovery of the double helix.
Who was Rosalind Franklin?
This enzyme is responsible for the "gluing" of okazaki fragments after replication on the lagging strand.
What is Ligase?
This was Francis Cricks term to describe the universal truth of information flow between DNA-->mRNA-->proteins-->traits.
What is The Central Dogma?
Scientist who identified the EQUAL AMOUNTS of complementary bases in individuals of any species
