Purpose of Replication

14 Terms

1

Purpose of Replication

Ensures continuity of heredity information

New cards
2

Replication

Genetic info is copied, occurs before cell division, allows transmission of complete genomes from one generation to the next

New cards
3

Semi-conservative

Replicated DNA molecule contains one original strand and one new strand, the original acts as the blueprint

New cards
4

5 prime end

Phosphate terminus, nucleotides added to it

New cards
5

3 prime end

Hydroxyl terminus, DNA polymerase attaches to it

New cards
6

Anti Parallel

Orientation of DNA strands, run in opposite directions

New cards
7

5’-3’

Nucleotides can only be added in this direction

New cards
8

Leading Strand

Strand synthesized continuously

New cards
9

Lagging strand

Synthesized discontinuously (in fragments)

New cards
10

Helicase

Unwinds DNA strands

New cards
11

Topoisomerase

Relaxes the supercoil at the replication fork

New cards
12

Replication fork

Location where the 2 DNA strands are separated

New cards
13

DNA Polymerase

Enzyme responsible for synthesizing new DNA strands by adding nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction during DNA replication. Attaches to the 3’ end and requires RNA primers to start synthesis.

New cards
14

Ligase

Joins the fragments on the lagging strand
