Where does Helicase attach to on the DNA strand?
Enzyme helicase unwinds the DNA by breaking the bonds between nucleotides. Thus attaches itself at the nucleotides.
How would you describe the polymerization of nucleotides?
The polymerization of nucleotides occurs in nature by a process called replication. Generally, nucleotides don't self-assemble unless there is a template to assemble onto. So, during replication, the template strand is 'read' by the polymerase (an enzyme) and then it recruits and adds nucleotides onto the growing strand by forming bonds between the 5' carbon of one nucleotide and the 3' of the other.
How is dna made into mRNA?
DNA is not made into mRNA, it is transcribed by mRNA. The DNA molecule is split into two strands by the enzyme helicase. One strand is the sense strand and the other is the anti-sense strand. Then mRNA nucleotides pair with their complimentary DNA bases on the antisense strand. The enzyme RNA polymerase causes the mRNA nucleotides to bond with one another, forming a strand of mRNA.
What enzyme attaches new DNA nucleotides to make the new strand of DNA?
DNA polymerase
Suppose a restriction enzyme recognizes the six-base sequence aagctt ttcgaa in a double strand of DNA between which two nucleotides on each strand would the enzyme have to cut to produce a fragment w?

What is the enzyme that uses one strand of DNA as a template to assemble nucleotides into a strand of RNA?
RNA Polymerase

What end of a growing strand are DNA nucleotides added to?
5' end (nucleotides are added from 3' toward 5')

What chemical is an enzyme that add nucleotides to a new strand of DNA during replication?
DNA Polymerase is the enzyme which adds new nucleotides during replication.
How is DNA copied and made into a mRNA?
There is no such process. DNA cannot come from RNA unless it contains reverse transcriptase. However, there is a process that makes mRNA from a DNA strand. This process is called transcription.
What enzyme used to join the DNA strand that is replicated in small segments called?
DNA polymerase is what I think you are referring to. It will join free nucleotides into a strand based off of a model template.
What attaches free nucleotides to the growing DNA strand?
During DNA replication, DNA polymerase binds free DNA nucleotides to an unzipped DNA strand. During transcription, RNA polymerase binds free RNA nucleotides to the unzipped anti-sense DNA strand.
Is DNA a single strand of nucleotides?
No, DNA, from difference with the RNA, is a double strand of nucleotides. DNA, double strand (hence the double helix nickname). RNA, single strand.
