|
Term
| Single-strand DNA-binding proteins (SSBPs) |
|
Definition
| stabilizes single-stranded DNA |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| breaks and rejoins the DNA double helix to relieve twisting forces caused by the opening of the double helix |
|
|
Term

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Catalyzes the synthesis of the RNA primer on an Okazaki fragment |
|
|
Term

|
|
Term
| Sliding clamp (lagging strand) |
|
Definition
| holds DNA polymerase in place during strand extension |
|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
|
Term
|
Definition

|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the strand that is synthesized in the opposite direction of the replication fork |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| (continuous strand) leads into the replication fork and is synthesized continuously |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the specific strand of bases where the replication bubble forms |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| nucleoprotein complexes that cap the ends of chromosomes (overhang), prevent fusion of chromosomes, get shorter as we get older |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| catalyzes the synthesis of DNA from an RNA template, carries an RNA molecule with it that acts as a built in template allowing telomerase to add DNA onto the end of a chromosome and prevent it from getting shorter |
