Biochemistry WGU EXAM WITH 100% CORRECT ANSWERS

DNA replication is ___________, meaning that each new duplex has one original (parent) strand and one new strand. semi conservative Because the two parent strands are separated during replication and the base pairing is predictable, each parent strand can serve as a ____________for the new strand synthesis. template unwinds the double stranded DNA to allow for replication, but this is not a problem for the DNA polymerase. helicase _______________is used to repair deletions, insertions, and helix-distorting lesions, such as thymine dimers. Nucleotide excision repair a strand of DNA that is the exact match of another complementary strand Nucleic acid base sequences that can form a double-stranded structure by matching base pairs. complementary sequence The use of U instead of A, starts from right to left. mRNA DNA sequence
