Editing DNA Replication and Repair (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''DNA Replication''' — The process by which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied to produce two identical DNA molecules.
* '''DNA Polymerase''' — The "Builder" enzyme that adds new nucleotides to the growing DNA strand.
* '''Helicase''' — The "Unzipper" enzyme that breaks the hydrogen bonds between DNA bases to open the double helix.
* '''Primase''' — The "Initializer" enzyme that places a small RNA primer to show polymerase where to start.
* '''Ligase''' — The "Gluer" enzyme that seals the gaps between DNA fragments (Okazaki fragments).
* '''Okazaki Fragments''' — Short sequences of DNA nucleotides synthesized discontinuously on the "lagging" strand.
* '''Mutation''' — A change in the DNA sequence that can occur during replication or due to environmental damage.
* '''Mismatch Repair (MMR)''' — A system for recognizing and repairing erroneous insertion, deletion, and mis-incorporation of bases.
* '''Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER)''' — A mechanism that removes DNA damage induced by UV light (like a "Cut and Paste" repair).
* '''Double-Strand Break (DSB)''' — A severe type of DNA damage where both strands of the helix are broken; repaired by NHEJ or Homologous Recombination.
