    Study Notes

    DNA Replication Terms

    • Template Strand

      • The original DNA strand that serves as a guide for synthesizing a new complementary strand during replication.

    • Replication Fork

      • The Y-shaped structure that forms during DNA replication where the two strands of DNA are unwound and separated, allowing the addition of new nucleotides.

    • Incoming Nucleotide

      • The nucleotide that is added to the growing DNA chain; it pairs with the corresponding base on the template strand (A with T, C with G).

    • Newly Synthesized Strand

      • The strand of DNA that is formed as a complementary sequence to the template strand during the replication process.

    • Daughter DNA Molecule

      • The resulting double-stranded DNA that is produced from the replication process, each containing one original (template) strand and one newly synthesized strand.
