Involved in DNA replication. The enzyme repairs small beaks in the phosphate-sugar backbone of DNA. it joints the Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand of the DNA.
DNA ligase
Involved in DNA replication. This enzyme releases the tension in the parental DNA molecule caused by an unwinding at the replication fork
Topoismerase
Involved in DNA replication. This enzyme make a small RNA molecule that is known as a primer. DNA polymerase cab begin synthesizing DNA by adding dNTPs on the 3’ end of the primer
Primase
Involved in DNA replication. This enzyme unwinds the two strands of DNA at replication fork.
Helicase
Involved in DNA replication. This protein binds to the DNA strands after the helicase unwinds it to prevent the unwind DNA strands from coming back together
Single-strand binding proteins.
Involved in DNA replication. This enzyme adds dNTPs to the 3’ end of a newly synthesized DNA chain. The dNTP added (either dATP, dTTP, dCTP, or dGTP) is the one that base-pairs with the nucleotide on the template strand. _____________ pauses ever time it adds a nucleotide to double-check if the correct nucleotide is added. If the wrong nucleotide is added, it can back-space and cut out the incorrect nucleotide.
DNA polymerase
Involved in DNA replication. This strand of DNA is synthesized in short segments. The 3’ end of the newly synthesized DNA molecule faces away from the direction the replication for is opening up
lagging strand
Involved in DNA replication. These are the short strands of newly synthesized DNA on the lagging strand.
Okazaki fragments
Involved in DNA replication. This sequence of DNA nucleotides where DNA begins replication.
Origin of replication
Involved in transcription. This enzyme joins NTPs together to make RNA strand. The NTP added either (ATP, UTP, CTP, OR GTP) is the one that base-pairs with nucleotide on the DNA TEMPLATE strand.
RNA polymerase
Involved in transcription. This is a sequence of DNA nucleotides where transcription begins.
promoter
Made in transcription, used in translation. Contains a series of codons that correspond to a sequence of amino acids in the protein being made
mRNA
Made in transcription, used in translation. Is the RNA component of the ribosome.
rRNA
Made in transcription, used in translation. Acts as an adapter between mRNA and the protein sequence begin made. Each_______ has an anticodon at one end and a specific amino acid at the other end. The anticodon binds to the codon in mRNA and has the amino acid for which that codon codes at the other end.
tRNA
Involved in translation. A large complex of proteins and rRNA. Has two subunits, a large subunit an a small subunit. Is the molecule responsible for catalyzing the formation of the peptide bond between the an amino acid and a protein.
Ribosome
Involved in translation. The codon on the mRNA that signals to the ribosome to start translation
start codon
Involved in DNA replication. This strand of DNA is synthesized continuously. The 3’ end of the newly-synthesized DNA molecule faces toward the direction the replication is opening up in

DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the 3’ end of a growing DNA chain, and cannot add nucleotides to the 5’ end of a DNA chain. Both parental DNA chains are being relocated at each replication fork, but the 3’ end of only one newly-synthesized DNA chain is facing the direction the fork is opening. This new DNA strand can be synthesized continuously and is termed the leading strand. The 3’ end of the other strand newly-synthesized DNA chain faces the opposite direction and must be synthesized into small pieces this is the lagging strand.
Why leading strand can be synthesized while the lagging strand cannot be synthesized continuously

The new nucleotides added to the growing DNA chain are selected based on base-pairing with old DNA strand being used as a template. Nucleotides that base-pair with the base in the template strand are added at each position of the newly-made DNA strand
