Question 1

Leading strand

Answer 1

A strand of DNA that is synthesized in the same direction as the replication fork

Question 2

Lagging strand

Answer 2

DNA strand that is synthesized discontinuously in DNA replication

Question 3

Semi-discontinuous

Answer 3

A mode of DNA replication in which one strand is synthesized continuously, while the other is synthesized discontinuously

Question 4

Semi-conservative

Answer 4

Ensures genetic continuity by using one parental DNA strand as a template to make a new complementary strand

Question 5

Okazaki Fragment

Answer 5

Short segments of DNA formed at the discontinuous synthesis of the lagging strand during replication of DNA

Question 6

Helicase

Answer 6

Unzips DNA at the beginning of replication

Question 7

Primase

Answer 7

Short RNA primers must be added

Question 8

DNA Polymerase III

Answer 8

The new enzyme adds new DNA nucleotides to build complementary strands

Question 9

DNA polymerase I

Answer 9

Remove DNA primers and replace them with DNA

Question 10

Ligase

Answer 10

Separate DNA fragments that were created separately and get joined together by connecting sugar to phosphate
