| A | B |
|---|
| replication in which the parent strand of DNA remains intact | conservative |
| replicaiton in which the parent strand separates and acts as a pattern for a new side to the helix | semiconservative |
| where the information of DNA lies | bases |
| describes DNA's method of replication | semiconservative |
| cuts DNA within the strand | endonuclease |
| cuts DNA at its end and allows it to uncoil | exonuclease |
| area where the DNA molecule is separating its 2 helices | replication fork |
| enzyme(s) which add nucleotides to the original DNA strand so as to form a new one | polymerases I & III |
| enzyme(s) which proofreads the nucleotides complimenting the original DNA strand | polymerase II |
| pairs with thymine | adenine |
| pairs with guanine | cytosine |
| direction in which DNA grows | 5'-->3' |
| forms when DNA replicaiton takes place at many areas along the DNA molecule | replication bubbles or replicons |
| describes the polynucleotide chains running in opposite directions | antiparallel |
| the new strand that is continuously formed in DNA replication | leading strand |
| the new strand of DNA that forms in short discontinuous fragments | lagging strand |
| the "short, discontinuous fragments" creating one new strand of DNA in replicaiton | Okazaki fragments |
| a pattern | template |
| enzyme(s) that seal(s) the Okazaki fragments together | ligase |
