What is the site of DNA replication in eukaryotes?
DNA replication occurs in living cells. The name of the sites where DNA replication occurs is called the origins of replication.
What is the helicase enzyme?
Unwinds the DNA during DNA replication and Trancription
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.
When DNA replication occurs what is the first thing that occurs?
DNA unzipping, I think lol
Is a circular double stranded DNA molecule that is capable of independent replication it usually occurs in bacteria?
It's called a plasmid.
What happens During replication DNA .?
During DNA replication the following occurs: 1) An enzyme called helicase separates the DNA strands (the space where they separate is called the replication fork). 2) DNA polymerase adds complementary nucleotides to the separated strand of DNA. 3) The DNA polymerase enzyme finishes adding nucleotides and there are two identical DNA molecules.
Is telophase the stage of the cell cycle when DNA replication occurs?
No, the stage of the cell cycle when DNA replication occurs is not called telophase. DNA replication occurs in the S (Synthesis) phase of the cell cycle. Telophase is the last stage of mitosis or meiosis, when the nuclear envelopes re-form (it occurs at the same time as cytokinesis - which separates the cells).
What is the stage of the cell when DNA replication occurs?
No, the stage of the cell cycle when DNA replication occurs is not called telophase. DNA replication occurs in the S (Synthesis) phase of the cell cycle. Telophase is the last stage of mitosis or meiosis, when the nuclear envelopes re-form (it occurs at the same time as cytokinesis - which separates the cells).
Replication that occurs between sites is called?
intersite replication
What is the site of DNA replication in eukaryotes?
DNA replication occurs in living cells. The name of the sites where DNA replication occurs is called the origins of replication.
What are the areas on DNA where replication occurs called?
DNA replication begins in areas of DNA molecules are called origins of replication.
What is the helicase enzyme?
Unwinds the DNA during DNA replication and Trancription
When does DNA replication occurs?
DNA replication occurs during the synthesis (S phase) phase of interphase in the cell cycle.DNA replication begins in areas of DNA molecules called origins of replication.
How are the rungs of the DNA ladder broken as the DNA molecule unzips?
The rugs of DNA are Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine. When DNA replication occurs and the ladder has to be broken, an enzyme called "helicase" starts at the replication fork and unwinds the DNA ladder. Helicase breaks the rugs of DNA.
When during a cell cycle does Replication occur?
The stage of the cell cycle, replication occurs is meosis The stage of the cell cycle, replication occurs is meosis The stage of the cell cycle, replication occurs is meosis The stage of the cell cycle, replication occurs is meosisDNA replication occurs during the S phase of interphase.
What enzyme is responsible for unwinding the DNA molecule for replication?
DNA Helicase is the enzyme responsible for unzipping DNA before replication occurs.
The direction of DNA replication on the leading strand occurs in the?
The enzyme DNA polymerase synthesises strands in the 5 prime to 3 prime direction, and as DNA is antiparallel the replication of the leading strand occurs from the 3 prime end of the template to the 5 prime end of the template.
