Semiconservative Replication
DNA Replication process where each new strand is part old DNA, and part new DNA
Complementary base pairing
The base pairing rule that says A bonds with T and C bonds with G
Helicase
Enzyme that unzips or unwinds DNA
Polymerase
Enzyme that adds new nucleotides to the new strand of DNA
Ligase
Enzymes that seal all the pieces of DNA together at the end of replication
Leading strand
Strand of DNA that is copied continuously
Lagging strand
Strand of DNA that is copied in fragments
Ozaki Fragments
Piece of the lagging strand of DNA when DNA is being copied
Anti Parallel
DNA strands that run in opposite directions
Nucleotide
Building block of DNA
Unwinding
The step of DNA replication where DNA is unwound by a helicase
Base pairing
The step of DNA replication where the new DNA strands are made by Polymerase
Joining
The step of DNA replication where the fragments of DNA are sealed together by ligase
