DNA Replication - Labeling

The document provides information about DNA replication including: 1. It identifies 8 key structures involved in DNA replication like helicase, Okazaki fragments, DNA polymerase. 2. It lists the steps of DNA replication in the correct order from unwinding of DNA by helicase to ligation of Okazaki fragments. 3. It asks why DNA replication is called "semi-conservative" and provides a word bank to label a diagram of DNA replication.

DNA Replication

Identify the structure


1. _____________________________ Enzyme that unwinds DNA
2. _____________________________ Fragments of copied DNA created on the lagging strand
3. _____________________________ The strand that is copied in a continuous way, from the 3’ to 5’ direction
4. _____________________________ Binds Okazaki fragments
5. _____________________________ Builds a new DNA strand by adding complementary bases
6. _____________________________ Stabilizes the DNA molecule during replication
7. _____________________________ Strand that is copied discontinuously because it is traveling away from helicase
8. _____________________________ Initiates the synthesis DNA by creating a short RNA segment at replication fork

9. Place the events in the correct order:


____ DNA polymerase adds nucleotides in the 5’ to 3’ direction
____ Replication fork is formed
____ DNA polymerase attaches to the primer
____ Okazaki fragments are bound together by ligase
____ DNA helicase unwinds DNA

10. Why is replication called “semi-conservative?” ___________________________________________________
