DNA replication

QuestionAnswer
DNA Replication The process by which DNA makes an identical copy of itself.
Helicase Enzyme that unwinds and unzips the DNA double helix.
Primase Enzyme that adds RNA primers to provide a starting point for DNA synthesis.
DNA Polymerase Enzyme that adds complementary nucleotides to form the new DNA strand.
Ligase Enzyme that joins Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand.
Leading Strand The DNA strand synthesized continuously in the direction of the replication fork.
Lagging Strand The DNA strand synthesized in short fragments (Okazaki fragments) opposite the replication fork.
Okazaki Fragments Short DNA fragments synthesized on the lagging strand.
Replication Fork The Y-shaped region where the DNA is split into two strands for replication.
Template Strand The original DNA strand that serves as a guide for making a new strand.
Complementary Base Pairing Principle where A pairs with T and G pairs with C.
Helicase unwinds and separates the DNA double helix, Primase adds RNA primers to start replication,
DNA Polymerase synthesizes new DNA strands by adding complementary nucleotides,
Ligase seals gaps between Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
