- what is the name of the process shown in the diagram above?
- when does a cell do this process?
- what is the outcome of this process?
Response
Question 13 - 18 (Identifying DNA parts)
Brief Explanations
- 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.
Brief Explanations
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.
Brief Explanations
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.
