Molecular Genetics

It is used to unwind the double stranded helix

It is the single stranded binding protein. it is used to prevent the single stranded DNA from reattaching

It synthisizes new DNA by attaching free nucelotides to the 3' end.

5' to 3'

It is responsible for building the RNA primers to attach the single stranded DNA

Removes DNA and replaces it with RNA

Attaches the 3' OH group to the 5' phosphate group in the lagging strand

The DNA sequence

Two strands that are in the opposite directions

So that resulting daughter cells after the cell has been divided contain equal amounts of DNA

Helicase splits up the double stranded DNA molecule forming two single stranded templates.

Soecial binding proteins known as SSBP attach to DNA to prevent them from renealing.

DNA polymerase attaches to ne strand, moves along it an joins incoming nucleotides together 5' to 3'

Lagging strand (3' to 5') allows nucleotides to be synthesized is a discontinuous pattern. RNA primase synthesizes RNA primers then a DNA polymerase joins incoming nucleotides, and it stops where is meets another RNA primer

Enzyme Rnase H comes and removes the RNA primer on the lagging strand, leaving okazaki fragments.
