DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase is able to covalently link nucleotides together from a ____.
primer
DNA primase makes ____ to being the replication process.
RNA primers
____ makes DNA from the RNA primers. ____ hops back to the opening of the fork and makes a second RNA primer for the lagging strand.
DNA polymerase
DNA primase
____ continues to elongate the leading strand. In the lagging strand, ____ synthesizes DNA from the second primer, and also removes the first primer and replaces it with DNA.
DNA polymerase
DNA polymerase
In the lagging strand, DNA ligase forms a covalent bond between the first and second ____. A third ____ is made. The leading strand continues to elongate.
okazaki fragments
okazaki fragment
____ - long repeat sequence caps on the end of the chromosomes.
This is a protective feature.
Telomeres
____ - long sections of dna that area repeats, that "cap" the dna, they allow the chromosomes to get shorter and shorter and not impact the important information that is residing in the chromosomes.
Telomeres

Ex. Dolly
older
older
old
Dna polymerase can only replicate from an existing strand.
Without ____, chromosomes would get shorter and shorter each time they replicated, eventually would start "chopping" up genes
Telomeres
Telomeres - protect the end of the ____.
chromosomes
