Question

identify the numbered parts of the dna molecule below and write the name on the corresponding lines.
dna polymerase helicase nucleotides
dna molecule new strand template strand
13.
14.
15.
16.
17.
18.

1. what is the name of the process shown in the diagram above?

1. when does a cell do this process?

1. what is the outcome of this process?

Explanation:

Question 13 - 18 (Identifying DNA parts)

• 13: The labeled part (13) is a strand used as a template for new DNA synthesis, so it's the template strand.
• 14: The small units (14) being added to build the new strand are nucleotides (the building blocks of DNA).
• 15: The enzyme involved in synthesizing the new DNA strand is DNA polymerase.
• 16: The enzyme that unwinds the DNA double helix is helicase.
• 17: The newly synthesized strand of DNA is the new strand.
• 18: The overall structure being replicated is the DNA molecule.

The diagram shows the unwinding of DNA, use of a template strand, and synthesis of a new strand, which is the process of DNA replication.

Cells perform DNA replication during the S - phase (Synthesis phase) of the cell cycle, specifically before cell division (mitosis or meiosis) to ensure each daughter cell gets a complete set of DNA.

Answer:

1. template strand
2. nucleotides
3. DNA polymerase
4. helicase
5. new strand
6. DNA molecule
