- Which description of DNA replication is correct? A. The two strands of DNA separate, and restriction enzymes cut up one strand. Then polymerase synthesizes two new strands out of the old ones. B. The two DNA strands separate, and each one gets a complementary strand of RNA. Then this RNA serves as a template for the assembly of many new strands of DNA. C. DNA polymerase constructs a new strand of DNA alongside each old one by pairing complementary nucleotides. D. Ligase assembles single-stranded anti-codons; then RNA polymerase joins these codons together into a DNA strand.arrow_forwardThe restriction endonucleases used in recombinant DNA work: a. are synthesized by bacteria b. recognize sequences 14-16 bp long c. cut the DNA outside the recognition sequence d. all the above are truearrow_forwardHow can you design your RT-PCR experiment to control for gDNA contamination? A. Use forward and reverse primers that bind to the same exon. B. Run a control lane where only RT was performed and not PCR. C. Run a control lane where MRNA has been amplified using PCR. D. Use forward and reverse primers that span the junction of 2 separate exons.arrow_forward
- Cancer cells can divide much longer than most other cells. One possible reason is the presence of telomerase in cancer cells. How might telomerase aid cancer cells? A. It proofreads the telomere sequences. B. It increases the length of the telomeres. C. It decreases the length of the telomeres. D.
