the unzipping enzyme, unzips DNA by breaking hydrogen bonds

New cards
DNA Polymerase
the builder, replicates DNA molecules and rebuilds DNA strands, if it makes a mistake a mutation occurs, proofreads DNA too
8
New cards
Primase
initializer, created primer to tell Polymerase where to start rebuilding
9
New cards
Ligase
the gluer, glues DNA fragments together again
10
New cards
What is happening here?
At the origin, DNA helicase unwinds the DNA
11
New cards
What is happening here?
Single Stranded Binding Proteins keep the DNA strands separated after being unwound.
12
New cards
What is happening here?
Primase enters and indicates to DNA Polymerase where to begin DNA replication
13
New cards
What is happening here?
DNA Polymerase must wait for DNA to unwind to replicate, creating the lagging strand. Leading strand is continuously replicated while lagging has pauses.
14
New cards
Lagging Strand
When DNA polymerase has to wait for DNA to unwind to replicate it, creating gaps later filled in, occur because DNA is antiparallel and replication only happens in 5’ to 3’ direction
15
New cards
Leading Strand
Continuously replicated throughout DNA replication
16
New cards
Central dogma
theory of flow of how we get our traits (DNA →RNA→Proteins)
