5.2 DNA Replication Flashcards
1
Q
Helicase
A
Unzips DNA strands
2
Q
Primase
A
Primes each strand for DNA Polymerase III to start building new nucleotides
3
Q
DNA Polymerase I
A
Erases the primer from the strands
4
Q
DNA Polymerase III
A
Actually builds the nucleotides
5

Ligase
A
Glues together fragments
6
Q

A
in the nucleus
7
Q
Leading Strand
