Base pairing (bp)

The linking between two nitrogenous bases on oooposiite complementary DNA or certainn types of RNA strands that arre connected via hydrogen bonds

Type of DNA replication in which the replicated double helix consists of one old strand, derived from the parental molecule, and on newly made strand

A Y-shaped region on a replicating DNA molecule where the parental strands are being unwound and new strands are being synthesized

Site where the replication of a DNA molecule begins, consisting of a specific sequence of nucleotides

An enzyme that untwists the double helix of DNA at replication forks, separating the two strands and making them available as template strands

A protein that breaks, swivels, and rejoins DNA strands.  During DNA replication, topoisomerase helps to relieve strain in the double helix ahead of the replication fork

A protein that binds to the unpaired DNA strands during DNA replication, stabilizing them and holding them apart while they serve as templates for the synthesis of complementary strands of DNA

A short stretch of RNA with a free 3' end, bound by complementary base pairing to the template strand and elongated with DNA nucleotides during DNA replication

An enzyme that joins RNA nucleotides to make a primer during DNA replication, using the parental DNA strand as a template

An enzyme that participates in the process of DNA replication in prokaryotes

The primary enzyme complex involved in prokaryotic DNA replication

A molecule containing a nucleoside bound to three phosphates

The new complementary DNA strand synthesized continuously along the template strand toward the replication fork in the mandatory 5' S 3' direction

A discontinuously synthesizes DNA strand that elongates by means of Okazaki fragments, each synthesized in a 5' S 3' direction away from the replication fork

An organism that requires oxygen for cellular respiration and cannot live without it
