2 What role did Mark Dacascos play in the TV series DNA?

3 As with human DNA-dependent DNA polymerases, ________, the enzyme that transcribes most of the genes in the human genome, operates as part of a large protein complex with multiple regulatory and accessory subunits.

4 Chemically, DNA consists of two long polymers of simple units called nucleotides, with backbones made of sugars and phosphate groups joined by ________ bonds.

5 Who played Hatton the TV series DNA?

6 [64] The information carried by DNA is held in the sequence of pieces of DNA called ________.

7 In DNA replication, a DNA-dependent ________ makes a copy of a DNA sequence.

8 DNA is often compared to a set of blueprints or a recipe, or a code, since it contains the instructions needed to construct other components of cells, such as proteins and ________ molecules.

9 Who played Loren Azenfeld the TV series DNA?

10 Genes contain an open reading frame that can be transcribed, as well as regulatory sequences such as ________ and enhancers, which control the transcription of the open reading frame.
