2.3 dna nucleotides Flashcards
1
Q
Describe protein synthesis
A
The double helix unwinds and unzips using DNA Helicase
forms a replication fork
Free nucleotides present in the nucleus bind to the exposed bases
dna polymerase replicates DNA molecules to actually build a new strand of DNA
dna polymerase only works in a 5’ to 3’ direction
forms two strands leading and lagging
lagging has okazaki fragments.
ligase binds dna fragments together
