2

Function of the Nucleus

To store genetic information and regulate cellular activities.

3

DNA Replication

The process by which a cell makes an identical copy of its DNA, ensuring that genetic information is passed on during cell division.

New cards
4

Enzymes involved in DNA replication

include DNA polymerase, helicase, and ligase, which work together to unwind the DNA strands, synthesize new strands, and join fragments.

New cards
5

Complementary base pairing

The mechanism by which DNA strands are synthesized according to the specific pairing of adenine with thymine and cytosine with guanine, ensuring accurate replication of genetic information.
