Describe the process of DNA replication as if explaining it to a fellow classmate. Imagine there is an unlabelled diagram in front of you to guide your explanation. (Try to include as many relevant proteins and concepts as possible to help demonstrate an understanding, eg. DNA Helicase, Okazaki Fragments, etc).

Describe the synthesis of the leading strand during DNA replication. Assume the replication bubble is open and helicase has already opened the strand. Be as detailed as possible for full credit.

Identify what is false about the following statement: Nonhomologous end joining is a mechanism that ensures that DNA double-strand breaks are repaired with a high degree of fidelity to the original DNA sequence

In apoptosis, a process of programmed cell death, the cell undergoes controlled degradation of cellular components including nuclear DNA Researchers have noted that if the DNA is isolated from an apoptotic cell, it appears as distinct bands of multiples of approximately 145 bases in length. Why does this occur? Multiple Choice There is a specific DNase that digests DNA every 145 base pairs. DNA sequences that appear every 145 base pairs allows for easier DNA breakage. DNA that is wrapped around the histones is not being degraded. DNA is coated with transcription factors every 145 base pairs.
