Question

Match the term to its correct description. Term Description A. Initiation 1. The stage where new DNA strands are synthesized. B Elongation 2. The stage where DNA replication is completed. C. Termination 3. The stage where DNA strands are separated. D. DNA polymerase 4 Enzyme that adds free nucleotides to the DNA. E. Helicase 5. Enzyme that unwinds and separates DNA strands.

Answer 1

* **A. Initiation - 3. The stage where DNA strands are separated.** Initiation is the beginning stage where the DNA double helix is unwound and the two strands are separated, creating a replication fork.* **B. Elongation - 1. The stage where new DNA strands are synthesized.** During elongation, DNA polymerase adds complementary nucleotides to the template strands, building new DNA molecules.* **C. Termination - 2. The stage where DNA replication is completed.** Termination is the final stage where DNA replication stops, and the new DNA molecules are complete.* **D. DNA polymerase - 4. Enzyme that adds free nucleotides to the DNA.** DNA polymerase is the key enzyme responsible for adding nucleotides to the growing DNA strand during replication.* **E. Helicase - 5. Enzyme that unwinds and separates DNA strands.** Helicase is the enzyme that unwinds the DNA double helix at the replication fork, allowing the two strands to be separated.
