1.) A
DNA molecule or region of DNA that replicate as an individual unit.
|
1.) Replicon
|
1.) A
DNA base sequence at which replication of a molecule is initiated.
|
1.) Origin of replication
|
1.) A
primer, short RNA molecule, elongates by adding successive deoxyribonucleotides
to the 3’ end. At a later stage, the primer RNA is removed and replaced with an
equivalent stretch of DNA.
|
1.) Initiation (of DNA synthesis)
|
1.) Nucleotide
monomers can be added to the 3’ end of the growing daughter strand.
|
1.) Elongation
|
1.) continuously
replicated strand
|
1.) Leading Strand
|
1.) non-continuously
replicated strand
|
1.) Lagging Strand
|
1.) Corrected
immediately after they occur by an enzymatic function called proofreading.
|
1.) Incorporation Error
|
1.) Corrects
incorporation errors.
|
1.) Proofreading
|
1.) The
mechanism in which each parental DNA strand remains intact and serves as a
template for a daughter strand.
|
1.) Semiconservative replication
|
1.) Separating
of parent and daughter strands by use of an ultracentrifuge. ¹⁵N heavy nitrogen
was used to alter density of DNA.
|
1.) Messalin-Stahl Experiment
|
1.) Replication
circle that is shaped like the Greek letter theta.
|
1.) θ Replication
|
1.) The
region in which parental strands are separating and new strands are being
synthesized.
|
1.) Replication fork
|
1.) Where
replication forks going in opposite direction meet.
|
1.) Terminus of replication
|
1.) Replication
proceeding in opposite directions from an origin of replication.
|
1.) Bidirectional replication
|
1.) The
process by which circular DNA molecules replicate that does not include a θ-shaped
intermediate.
|
1.) Rolling-circle replication
