Sci 9 Dna Replication Ws

DNA replication occurs just before a cell divides so that each new cell has an exact copy of the DNA. It is considered "semi-conservative" because each new DNA molecule contains one original strand and one newly synthesized strand. DNA replication takes place in the cell nucleus and involves the unwinding and unzipping of the DNA double helix, followed by nucleotides pairing up with the exposed nitrogen bases to synthesize new strands, resulting in two DNA molecules that each have one original and one new strand.

Sci 9 DNA Replication WS Name:

Block:

1. Why does DNA replicate?

So each new cell will have an exact copy when it divides.

2. Why is DNA replication is considered “semi-conservative”?


Each of the two new copies contains a strand from the original and a new strand.
3. When does DNA replication occur in a cell?

Just before the cell is ready to divide

4. Where does DNA replication occur in a cell?


In the nucleus

True or False. If statement is false, correct the statement

5. __F___ Guanine and cytosine are referred to as nitrogenous bases


6. __F___ DNA is in the shape of a double helix.
7. __F___ A nucleotide is made up of a sugar, phosphate and one nitrogen bases.
8. __T___ Replication is performed prior to cell division.
9. __F___ Adenine always pairs with Thymine.
10. __F___ Complementary base pairing matches up with complementary bases.
11. _____ The sides of the DNA molecule are made up of repeating phosphates and sugars.
12. _____ The letters that make up the DNA molecule code for proteins.
13. _____ Replication results in two strands of DNA, each of which has one original strand, one new.
14. _____ Hydrogen bonds hold nitrogen bases together, forming the rungs of the DNA ladder.

Put the following sentences in correct order:

15. __3__ Two new molecules of DNA are created.


16. __1__ DNA unzips
17. __4__ Cell starts into the mitosis phase of cell cycle
