16
Q

leading strand

A

made towards the replication fork

17
Q

how many primers do you need for leading strand

18
Q

continuous or discontinuous replication in leading strand?

19
Q

lagging strand

A

made away from the replication fork

20
Q

how many primers are needed for lagging strand

21
Q

continuous or discontinuous replication in lagging strand?

A

discontinuous, creates okazaki fragments

22
Q

how many steps are in dna replication

23
Q

first step of dna replication

A

Helicase opens the helix, creating the origin of replication

24
Q

second step of dna replication

A

Primase puts down a primer to tell Polymerase where to begin

25
third step of dna replication
Polymerase puts down new base pairs, building the complementary strand
26
fourth step of dna replication
Ligase binds all of the fragments of DNA together, to create a continuous strand
27
nondisjunction
homologous chromosomes that failed to separate in meiosis
28
what is the result in nondisjunction
trisomy or monosomy
29
what is trisomy
three extra chromosomes
30
what is monosomy
one extra chromosomes
31
xy
male
32
xx
female
33
karyotype
a visual to show a complete set of chromosomes
34
when does dna replicate
right before it divides
35
semi-conservative
two copies contain one old original strand and one new strand
36
5' -> 3'
dna polymerase always builds in this direction
37
antiparallel (5' -> 3')
dna strands run in opposite direction, one goes in the 5 -> 3 direction while the other goes in the 3' -> 5' direction
38
prime
the carbons on the nitrogen base are numbered | the apostrophes are called prime
39
what direction are leading and lagging strand in
5' -> 3''
