Back (Answer)

Condensation (dehydration synthesis) Initiatioin Elongation Termination

#2
Front (Question)

INITIATION: DNA synthesis starts at one or more ____ which are DNA sequences targeted by ____ These are usually rich in ____ and ____ bases because the TWO Hydrogen bonds they have together require less energy

Back (Answer)

Origins of replication Initiator Proteins Adenine Thymine

#3
Front (Question)

#6
Front (Question)

What allows the lagging strand to make fragments? The creation of a ____ allowing the enzyme to add nucleotides at a 3-hydroxyl end of a growing segment. These create okazaki fragments. There are about ____ to ___ nucleotides in a fragment in e coli but ____ to ____ in eukaryotes. Synthesis occur at the same rate DNA polymerase can’t start a new chain as they need a ____ RNA Polymerase can start a new chain.
