Explain what is happening to the bottom DNA molecule, include the enzymes and proteins that are involved.

I will have to grade this.

Explain what is happening to the DNA molecule, include the enzymes that are involved.

I will have to grade this.

For 3-8, identify the nitrogenous bases.

Note the pattern of the hydrogen bonds (the number of dotted-lines) between those already labeled.

I must grade this.

Use the abbreviations

Adenine (A)

Thymine (T)

Guanine (G)

Cytosine (C)

a. In a single strand of DNA, the on one nucleotide binds to the deoxyribose of the next nucleotide.

b. Chargaff's rules states that the DNA of any organism contains equal proportions of and and equal proportions of and (I have to regrade this).

c. Logical thinking using Chargaff's rules - In a strand of DNA, if the percentage of adenine was 20%, the percentage of guanine in the same strand must be .

d. bonds connect the nitrogen bases of one strand to the nitrogen bases of the other strand of DNA.

Why is DNA replication called semi-conservative?

Reorder the following steps from beginning to end.

  1. The DNA double helix breaks or unzips down the middle between the base pairs.

  2. The enzyme DNA polymerase moves along the exposed strands and adds complementary nucleotides to each nucleotide in each existing strand.

  3. A complementary strand is created for each of the two strands of the original double helix.

  4. Two new identical DNA molecules have been produced.
