 A. Arrange the following
events of DNA
replication in correct
sequence. Write
numbers 1-4 in the
space provided.
____a. The enzyme DNA
polymerase moves along
the exposed strands and
adds complementary
nucleotide in each
existing strand.
____b. The DNA
double helix breaks or
unzips down the
middle between the
base pairs.
____c. A complementary
strand is created for each
of the two strands of the
original double helix.
____d. Two new identical
DNA molecules have
been produced.
B. The sequence of bases
in the different DNA
strands is given below.
Identify the
complementary sequence
of bases in the other
strands of DNA.
