DNA Polymerase - An enzyme that adds DNA nucleotides, using complementary base pairing, to the deoxyribose (3') end of the new DNA strand, Ligase - An enzyme that joins the fragments of DNA together in the lagging strand, Primer - A short strand of nucleotides which binds to the 3' end of the template DNA strand, allowing polymerase to add DNA nucleotides, Hydrogen bonds - The bonds formed between bases that hold the two strands of DNA together, Thymine - The base that pairs with adenine in complementary base pairing, Guanine - The base that pairs with cytosine in complementary base pairing, Leading strand - The new strand of DNA that is replicated continuously, Lagging strand - The new strand of DNA that is replicated in fragments., Antiparallel structure - The feature of DNA that results in DNA replicating with a leading and a lagging strand, Template strands - The strands formed when the hydrogen bonds break between bases in the original DNA molecule, separating the two strands,
