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.
