Karteikarten: Fundamentals of DNA Replication — 10 Karten

DNA double helix — structure?

Two antiparallel strands with base pairing.

DNA — structure?

Double helix, two antiparallel strands.

Replication fork — role?

Site where DNA unwinds for replication.

Nucleotide — components?

Phosphate, deoxyribose sugar, nitrogenous base.

RNA polymerase — function?

Synthesizes RNA from DNA template.

Complementary bases — pairs?

A pairs with T; C pairs with G.

Antiparallel strands — significance?

Allow proper enzymatic function during replication.

DNA replication fork — feature?

Y-shaped structure where DNA unwinds.

Helicase — role?

Unwinds DNA at the replication fork.

Leading vs lagging strand — difference?

Leading is continuous; lagging is discontinuous.
