DNA polymerases are processive, which means that they remain tightly associated with the template strand while moving rapidly and adding nucleotides to the growing daughter stand. Which piece of the replication machinery accounts for this characteristic? Helicase O Sliding Clamp O Single Stranded Binding Protein Primase

Replication involves a period of time during which DNA is particularly susceptible to the introduction of mutations. If nucleotides can be incorporated into DNA at a rate of 20 nucleotides/second and the human genome contains 3 billion nucleotides, how long will replication take? How is this time reduced so that replication can take place in a few hours?
Match the enzymes involved in DNA replication with their function. Primase [ Choose ] [ Choose] Synthesizes short RNA segment to initiate new DNA strand Helicase Main enzyme that extends RNA primer by adding DNA nucleotides to it Stabilizes single-stranded DNA Relieves over-winding of DNA ahead of the replication fork Removes RNA primers preceding Okazaki fragment and replaces RNA nucleotides with DNA nucleotides Single-stranded binding proteins Unwinds DNA helix Synthesizes the ends of the linear chromosome Seals nicks between adjacent DNA segments DNA polymerase III [ Choose ] DNA polymerasel [ Choose ] DNA Ligase [ Choose ] Topoisomerase [ Choose ]
During DNA replication, the function of RNA primers is to Group of answer choices serve as a binding site for DNA ligase separate the two strands of the double helix to open replication "bubbles" serve as starting points for DNA strand elongation by DNA polymerase in the 3' - 5' direction prevent new-separated strands of DNA from rejoining serve as starting points for DNA strand elongation in the 5' - 3' direction by DNA polymerase
Sequence the semi-conservative DNA replication
During DNA replication, one of the new strands of DNA is synthesized continuously, while the other is synthesized as a number of separate fragments of DNA that are subsequently linked by DNA ligase. This is because O replication starts at many points on the chromosome RNA primers only anneal to one of the parental strands of DNA one of the parental strands is unwound slower than the other by helicase DNA polymerase III only synthesizes DNA in the 5' - 3' direction
Define DNA replication/synthesis and semiconservative replication. In addition, describe and/or define the role(s) of each of the following in the process of DNA replication/synthesis: DNA template strand, 5’ and 3’ ends, DNA helicase, DNA polymerase, single-strand binding proteins, topoisomerase, primase, Okazaki fragments, leading strand and lagging strand.
In DNA replication, the fundamental reason that Okasaki fragments are produced is that Group of answer choices DNA replication can proceed only in the 5’ to 3’ direction replication on the leading strand is slower than replication on the lagging strand DNA polymerase tends to slip while replicating the lagging strand DNA polymerase has to alternate between the leading and lagging strands during replication none of these are true.
In what order does initiation of DNA replication proceed (from 1 = first to 4 = last)? DNA polymerase adds nucleotides DNA unwinds at the origin of replication Primase synthesizes RNA primers Helicase opens up replication forks, which extend in both directions
DNA Replication occurs on both prokaryotes and eukaryotes. Although they have a similar genetic flow, there are small differences in between. What are the differences of DNA replication in prokaryotes and eukaryotes? What is/are the major difference/s?
Describe the role of the proteins involved with DNA replication. Also identify if the protein is involved the leading strand, lagging strand or both. DNA Ligase DNA Polymerase I DNA Polymerase III Helicase Primase Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins Topoisomerase
Which of the following is not necessary for replication to proceed? O MRNA O RNA primer O DNA polymerase O primase O DNA ligase
