RRR…Replicate
10
Name the three enzymes
involved in Replication in the
order they are used.
RRR…Replicate
10: Answer
Helicase, DNA Polymerase,
Ligase
RRR…Replicate
20
Which step is Helicase used in
and what does he do?
RRR…Replicate
20: Answer
st
1 :
unzips and unwinds the DNA
separating the hydrogen bonds
between bases
RRR…Replicate
30
During which step do we
use Ligase and what does it
do?
RRR…Replicate
30: Answer
rd
3
step: “glues” the nitrogen
base pairs together
RRR…Replicate
40
During which step do we
use DNA Polymerase and
what does it do?
RRR…Replicate
40: Answer
nd
2
step: matches free
nucleotides according
to the base pair rule
RRR…Replicate
50
List all three steps in
order naming the
enzyme and its job.
RRR…Replicate
50: Answer
1)Helicase: unzips and unwinds the DNA
separating the bases
2)DNA Polymerase: matches free
nucleotides according to the base
pairing rule
3)Ligase: “glues” the bases back together

Transcription
The two T’s 20
Which T occurs in the
ribosome?
The two T’s 20 Answer
Translation
The two T’s 30
Which T creates mRNA
from DNA?
The two T’s
30 Answer
Transcription
The two T’s 40
Which T creates a
protein by changing
mRNA into amino
acids?
The two T’s
40 Answer
Translation
The two T’s 50
Explain:
•three steps of Transcription
(use the enzymes)
•five steps of Translation
(how does the whole process happen?)
The two T’s 50 Answer
Transcription:
Translation:
1)Helicase breaks apart DNA
strands
1)1st mRNA codon enters the
ribosome
2)RNA Polymerase matches up
RNA nucleotides
2)tRNA brings the
complimentary anticodon
3)Newly created mRNA strand
heads to the ribosome
3)Attached to the tRNA
anticodon is the appropriate
amino acid
4)Consecutive amino acids are
joined together by peptide
bonds
5)Resulting chain of amino
acids is a protein
