Question 8

What is Franklin credited for?

Answer 8

The first to show a picture of DNA, & finding the structure.

Question 9

Where does DNA replication occur?

Answer 9

During the S phase of the cell cycle.

Question 10

What is the first main step to replication?

Answer 10

Step 1: double helix unwinds ; helicase unzips the DNA strand by breaking the hydrogen bonds down btwn the base pairs & creates 2 new template strands.

Question 11

What is replication forks?

Answer 11

The areas where the double helix separates.

Question 12

What is the second step to the replication?

Answer 12

At the replication forks, DNA polymerase inserts new complementary bases (builds P/S backbones)

Question 13

What is the third step to replication?

Answer 13

The DNA polymerase proofreads the & fixes errors.

Question 14

Why do purines pair with pyrimidines ?

Answer 14

One has two large rings while the other has only one

Question 15

What type of bonds connect the deoxyribose sugars to the phosphate groups?

Answer 15

Convalent

Question 16

What type of bonds connect the bases to each other?

Answer 16

Hydrogen bonds

Question 17

What enzyme connects the new bases to the old bases in the DNA template?

Answer 17

DNA polymerase

Question 18

What enzymes connects the new nucleotides together and proofreads them?

Answer 18

DNA polymerase
