| A linking enzyme essential for DNA replication; catalyzes the covalent bonding of the 3' end of a new DNA fragment to the 5' end of a growing chain. | ||
| An enzyme that catalyzes the elongation of new DNA at a replication fork by the addition of nucleotides to the existing chain. | ||
| The form of native DNA, referring to its two adjacent polynucleotide strands wound into a spiral shape. | ||
| An enzyme that untwists the double helix of DNA at the replication forks. | ||
| A discontinuously synthesized DNA strand that elongates in a direction away from the replication fork. | ||
| The new continuous complementary DNA strand synthesized along the template strand in the mandatory 5' ( 3' direction. | ||
| The cellular process that uses special enzymes to fix incorrectly paired nucleotides. | ||
| An enzyme that hydrolyzes DNA and RNA into their component nucleotides. | ||
| The process of removing and then correctly replacing a damaged segment of DNA using the undamaged strand as a guide. | ||
| Site where the replication of a DNA molecule begins. | ||
| A virus that infects bacteria; also called a bacteriophage. | ||
| An enzyme that joins RNA nucleotides to make the primer. | ||
| A polynucleotide with a free 3´ end, bound by complementary base pairing to the template strand, that is elongated during DNA replication. | ||
| A Y-shaped region on a replicating DNA molecule where new strands are growing. | ||
| Type of DNA replication in which the replicated double helix consists of one old strand, derived from the old molecule, and one newly made strand. | ||
| During DNA replication, molecules that line up along the unpaired DNA strands, holding them apart while the DNA strands serve as templates for the synthesis of complementary strands of DNA. | ||
| An enzyme that catalyzes the lengthening of telomeres. The enzyme includes a molecule of RNA that serves as a template for new telomere segments. |
