For Questions 1–5, complete each statement by writing in the correct word or words.1.The building blocks (monomers) of DNA are nucleotides .2.Nucleotides in DNA are made of three basic components: a sugar called deoxyribose,a phosphate,and a nitrogenousbase.3. DNA contains four kinds of nitrogenous bases: adenine, guanine, thymine, andcytosine.4."DNA" stands for:deoxyribonucleic acid5.The two strands of a DNA molecule are held together by _hydrogen_____ bonds between complementary nitrogenous bases. Three scientists who worked to solve the structure of DNA were Rosalind Franklin, James Watson, and Francis Crick. Franklin found clues. These clues helped Watson and Crick explain the structure and properties of DNA.6.

After viewing, you can click "Home" and go back to browse 12.2 in your online textbook. Copying the Code1.Why are the strands of a DNA molecule said to be complementary?Each strand of the double helix contains all the information needed to reconstruct the other half by the mechanism of base pairing; because each strand can be used to produce the opposite strand they are said to be complementary.2.What is the first step in eukaryotic DNA replication?The two strands of the double helix unzip, or separate, to form two replication forks.Helicase= enzyme needed3.If the base sequence on a separated DNA strand is CGTAGG, what will the base sequence on its complementary strand be?GCATCC4.What enzyme joins individual nucleotides to produce the new strand of DNA?DNA Polymerase5.What enzyme makes it less likely that DNA will be lost from telomeres during replication?Telomerase6.How does this enzyme work?Telomerase works by adding short, repeating sequences of DNA to the telomeres, ensuring that important genes near the telomeres are copied completely, and not lost during the process of replication.7.What is a replication fork?The point at which the complementary strands are separated, or “unzipped”.8.Does DNA replication take place in the same direction along both strands of the DNA molecule that is being replicated? Explain your answer. (Hint: Look at the illustration of DNA replication in your textbook.)No. DNA replication takes place in opposite directions. DNA polymerase can only follow the strand in one direction along the sugar phosphate backbone.9. In which type of cell is DNA circular? circle one.prokaryoticeukaryotic10. In which type of cell does replication begin at several points? circle one.prokaryoticeukaryotic11.Label the diagram below with the following terms using the pictures in your text as a guide. Some terms are listed twice because you need to label both sides of the diagram. HINT: There is an excellent animation of this - after you go through the slides of the Lesson Overview, click the "Activities" tab and then click "Interactive Art" to see the steps of DNA replication in action.2571115111760a.

Explain your answer.No. While DNA polymerase does have a proofreading function that ensures almost perfect copies, errors are made. These errors are mutations, which may be helpful, harmful, or have no effect at all. ................
