What else can I help you with?
During DNA replication each strand of DNA is used as a template to produce a complementary strand of DNA. What base will attatch to location 2?
During DNA replication, the base that attaches to a specific location on the template strand depends on the base present at that location. If the base at location 2 on the template strand is adenine (A), then thymine (T) will attach to the complementary strand. Conversely, if the base at location 2 is cytosine (C), then guanine (G) will be added. The pairing follows the rules of complementary base pairing: A-T and C-G.
What sites separate and replicate in DNA?
During DNA replication, the two DNA strands separate at the origin of replication, forming a replication bubble. Enzymes like helicase unwind the DNA strands, while DNA polymerase replicates each strand by adding complementary nucleotides. This process ensures that each newly formed DNA molecule contains one original strand and one newly synthesized strand.
Does dna ligase help assemble the leading strand?
No, DNA ligase does not help assemble the leading strand. DNA ligase is primarily involved in the final stages of DNA replication, where it seals the nicks in the phosphodiester backbone between Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand. DNA polymerase is responsible for assembling both the leading and lagging strands during DNA replication.
NOT a likely method of DNA replication as determined by the structure of DNA?
Strand displacement replication is not a likely method of DNA replication because it involves the formation of multiple replication forks which is not supported by the structure of DNA, which consists of two antiparallel strands.

Guanine
There is a y shaped replication fork on each side of each replication bubble what are the sides of the replication fork called?
One is known as the Leading strand, and the other is known as the Lagging strand.

Does replication occur in consecutive order down the DNA strand or does it occur in many places at the same time?
Multiple places

Semiconservative replication involes a template what is the template?
The template for semiconservative replication is the original DNA strand that serves as a guide for creating a new complementary strand. During DNA replication, each original parental strand acts as a template for the synthesis of a new daughter strand.
What is the new strand called in Dna replication?
semiconservative replication - original DNA double strand will unwind into 2 strands, so one original strand will serve as a template for synthesizing a new complementary strand , thus forming a new DNA (one with old strand and one with a new strand)
What strand needs multiple primers?
The strand that needs multiple primers is the lagging strand during DNA replication. This strand is synthesized discontinuously in short segments called Okazaki fragments, each requiring a separate RNA primer. These primers are essential for initiating DNA synthesis at various points along the lagging strand template. In contrast, the leading strand is synthesized continuously from a single primer.
What happens at the DNA replication fork?
The DNA replication fork is where the replication origin forms the Y shape. The replication fork moves down the DNA strand to the strand's end, resulting in every replication fork having a twin.
What is the DNA strand that is synthesized continuously during DNA replication?
The leading strand is the DNA strand that is synthesized continuously during DNA replication. This is because the polymerase enzyme can add nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction without interruption as the replication fork opens.
