#1
Front (Question)

Parent strand

Back (Answer)

provide a platform for complementary base pairing to form a new duplex.

#2
Front (Question)

template

Back (Answer)

The parent strands provide a platform for complementary base pairing to form a new duplex

#3
Front (Question)

daughter strand

Back (Answer)

Need dNTP to be synthesized. Is the copied strand.

#4
Front (Question)

DNAPol I

Back (Answer)

`prokaryotic removes and replaces the primer. remove RNA primers and replace with DNA.

#5
Front (Question)

DNAPol III

Back (Answer)

Prokaryotic major replication polymerase. synthesize DNA daughter strands

#6
Front (Question)

DNA Pol alpha

Back (Answer)

initiates replication by synthesizing the primer. aka primase. short DNA stretches on the RNA primer

#7
Front (Question)

DNA Pol beta

Back (Answer)

replaces nucleotide in DNA repair. (BER)

#8
Front (Question)

DNA Pol sigma

Back (Answer)

major replication polymerase lagging strand

#9
Front (Question)

DNA Pol epsilon

Back (Answer)

major replication polymerase leading strand.

#10
Front (Question)

Primer

Back (Answer)

short single stranded DNA or RNA with free 3’ OH group that allows linkage. required to start replication. RNA primers are the lagging strand start site.

#11
Front (Question)

Helicase

Back (Answer)

unwinds strands in DNA replication

#12
Front (Question)

RPA

Back (Answer)

(replication protein A) Is a protein that protect ssDNA and stem loops during DNA repair. eukaryotic

#13
Front (Question)

ssDNA BP

Back (Answer)

prevents stem loops. Prokaryotic

#14
Front (Question)

RFC

Back (Answer)

is the protein that enables PCNA to move onto the next okazaki fragment during polymerase exchange.

#15
Front (Question)

PCNA clamp

Back (Answer)

is loaded by replication factor C. coordinate travel of both polymerases into the fork during DNA replication

#16
Front (Question)

Primase

Back (Answer)

aka DNA Pol alpha. short handed DNA stretched on the RNA primer.

#17
Front (Question)

Topoisomerase

Back (Answer)

cleave and rejoin duplex.

#18
Front (Question)

Lap endonuclease

Back (Answer)

#19
Front (Question)

lagging strand

Back (Answer)

has synthetic direction away from the growing fork.

#20
Front (Question)

Leading strand

Back (Answer)

can be replicated continuously and polymerization of the new strand moves with the fork.

#21
Front (Question)

Okazaki fragments

Back (Answer)

joined together by DNA ligase

#22
Front (Question)

beta-clamp

Back (Answer)

after Okazaki fragments are synthesized, beta-clamp and DNA Pol III release DNA and relocate to the next primer location to synthesize the next Okazaki fragment.

#23
Front (Question)

Telomerase

Back (Answer)

enzyme that elongates telomeres at the lagging strand to provide a template. not expressed in somatic cells meaning shorter.

#24
Front (Question)

Reverse transcriptase

Back (Answer)

telomerase reverse transcriptase is TERT. Is the process of synthesizing DNA from an RNA template.
