1. Describe the process of DNA Replication. 2. Understand how complementary nucleotides on opposite DNA strands match through hydrogen bonding between their nitrogenous bases. 3. Use the antiparallel structure of the two DNA strands and the binding between complementary nitrogenous bases to predict the nucleotide sequence of one strand based on the sequence of the other strand. 4. What are the enzymes and proteins involved in DNA Replication and what do they do? 5. Diagram how DNA polymerase adds NTPs 5' to 3' to a growing DNA strand. 6. Why are primers needed for DNA replication? Explain how RNA primers and Primase help initiate new sites of DNA replication. 7. What happens when mistakes are made during DNA Replication? 8. How does DNA Replication start and end? 9. What is PCR and how does it work? 10. Why do telomeres shorten during DNA replication? 11. How is the shortened telomere repaired?
