Section 1 The Structure and Replication of DNA –  Make sure you can ... Describe the structure of a nucleotide Number the carbons on the sugar in a nucleotide State that DNA is a double stranded double helix with antiparallel strands Describe how covalent bonds are involved in producing DNA strands State the complementary base pairing found in DNA State what is meant by prokaryote and eukaryote State that prokaryotes contain a circular chromosome State that eukaryotes contain linear chromosomes State that eukaryotic DNA is packaged with proteins called histones in the nucleus State that mitochondria and chloroplasts also contain circular DNA molecules Describe a plasmid State that DNA is replicated by semi-conservative replication the 5 requirements for DNA replication Describe the role of the following enzymes in DNA replication; helicase, DNA polymerase and Ligase Describe the replication of DNA Explain why leading and lagging strands form during DNA replication Describe the technique of gel electrophoresis State that the Polymerase Chain Reaction produces many copies of a specific section of DNA Describe the cycle in PCR Explain the importance of primers in PCR
