start learning

Question		Answer
DNA structure start learning		DNA is to nucleotide polymer is wrapped around each other. Covalent bonds hold the sugar phosphate backbone together. Hydrogen bonds hold the two strands together.
DNA replication start learning		DNA needs to be copied in interphase before cell division. Copied by semi-conservative replication. 3 main enzymes are Helicase DNA Polymerase and Ligase. DNA is synthesized by dehydration synthesis.
helicase start learning		unwinds and separates the DNA strands
DNA polymerase start learning		adds new nucleotides to each of the two strands
ligase start learning		closest gaps in backbone
transcription process start learning		initiation, RNA elongation, stop elongation
initiation start learning		separate DNA strands and bind RNA polymerase at promoter
RNA elongation start learning		by RNA polymerase. Adds bases complementary to the DNA strand it is reading
