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 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 does the nucleotides on one strand of DNA provide a template or guide for the sequence of subunits on the other strand?
They bond, and make a replication of itself.
What are the enzymes that are responisble for adding nucleotides to the exposed DNA bases during replication?
DNA polymerases. As an incoming nucleotide base-pairs with it's complement on the template strand, a DNA polymerase adds it to the end of the growing daughter strand (polymer).
What base sequence would be produced through DNA replication?
DNA replication is a semi-conservative process. The DNA is split into two strands. Nucleotides are then attached to each strand by complementary base pairing, where A attaches to T and G attaches to C. The newly formed strand is hence identical to the old strand and the base sequence of DNA can hence be conserved during replication.
Why is it necessary to add a nucleotide during dna replication?
DNA itself is made up of nucleotides. Nucleotides links with each other to form a DNA chain. In the process of DNA replication, parent DNA strand needs to be duplicated. Hence, to make a new strand of DNA it requires nucleotides.
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.

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.
At each replication fork one new strand of DNA is made of many small pieces. what is the strand of DNA called?
When the two parent strands of DNA are separated to begin replication, one strand is oriented in the 5' to 3' direction while the other strand is oriented in the 3' to 5' direction. DNA replication, however, is inflexible: the enzyme that carries out the replication, DNA polymerase, only functions in the 5' to 3' direction. This characteristic of DNA polymerase means that the daughter strands synthesize through different methods, one adding nucleotides one by one in the direction of the replication fork, the other able to add nucleotides only in chunks. The first strand, which replicates nucleotides one by one is called the leading strand; the other strand, which replicates in chunks, is called the lagging strand. The lagging strand replicates in small segments, called Okazaki fragments. These fragments are stretches of 100 to 200 nucleotides in humans (1000 to 2000 in bacteria).
What is the DNA strand that is synthesized continuously during DNA replication?
leading strand
What enzyne produces a new DNA strand during DNA replication?
The DNA polymerase enzyme produces a new DNA strand during DNA replication
What is the function of DNA polymerase?
DNA polymerases are the enzymes responsible for joining DNA nucleotides together. In Prokaryotes - DNA Pol III is the enzyme which adds nucleotides to the new strand during DNA replication. DNA Pol I is responsible for replacing the primers with DNA nucleotides.
