Answer the following
questions: (don’t forget to
restate your answer!)

DNA molecule?
What enzyme adds and
bonds the new nucleotides
to the DNA molecule?
How are mistakes corrected
during DNA replication?
Once the new DNA
molecules are made up of
half the old DNA and half
the new DNA, DNA
replication is
