What is the function of DNA polymerase? a. It degrades DNA in cells. b. It adds RNA nucleotides to a new strand. c. It coils DNA around histones to form chromosomes. d. It adds DNA nucleotides to a replicating strand. e. None of these.
DNA replication occurs by adding (Note: NTPS = nucleotide triphosphates; dNTPs = deoxynucleotide triphosphates) DNTPS to the 3' end of the template strand NTPS to the 3' end of the daughter strand DNTPS to the 3' end of the daughter strand DNTPS to the 5' end of the template strand NTPS to the 5' end of the daughter strand
What is the difference between the leading strand and the lagging strand in DNA replication? There are different DNA polymerases involved in elongation of the leading strand and the lagging strand. The leading strand is synthesized continuously in the 5' → 3' direction, while the lagging strand is synthesized discontinuously in the 5' → 3' direction. The leading strand requires an RNA primer, whereas the lagging strand does not. The leading strand is synthesized in the 3' → 5' direction in a discontinuous fashion, while the lagging strand is synthesized in the 5' → 3' direction in a continuous fashion.

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 ]
In DNA Replication, what is the function of Primase: works to connect discontinuous parts of DNA such as the nicks created by gyrase and the okazaki fragments O Synthesizes RNA on a DNA template to provide an available 3'-OH group to continue with DNA synthesis O binds at the origin and begins to unwind the helix O bind near the origin to maintain the complementary sequences of DNA from reforming the helical structure
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 Sliding Clamp Single Stranded Binding Protein Primase
Some Processes Involved in DNA Replication The replication origin is identified. DNA primase builds RNA primer. Okazaki fragments are spliced by DNA ligase. Helicases bind and uncoil the DNA double helix. RNA primer is the starting point for DNA polymerase. DNA replication ends at the telomere where DNA codes for termination. DNA polymerase adds complementary nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction in short segments called Okazaki fragments. The sequence in which the events numbered above occur during DNA replication of the lagging strand is:

As the strands are synthesized in replication, which of the following is true? the leading strand is synthesized continuously from the 5' to 3' direction while the other strand is synthesized discontinuously in the 3' to 5' direction both strands are synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction the strand that shows the Okazaki fragments is synthesized in the 3'-5' direction. both strands are synthesized continuously
DNA is made of two strands that are antiparallel. If one strand runs from 3’ to 5’ direction the other one will go from 5’ to 3’ direction. During replication or transcription, whatever the process is, it will always follow the 5’ to 3’ direction using the 3’ to 5’ directed strand as the template strand. Therefore, if following is the DNA sequence 5’-CCG ATC GCA CAA-3’ Using this sequence as template after transcription no protein can be translated. Why? Presence of start codon Absence of start codon Due to mutation If you want to start the translation, what change you need in the second codon (from 5’ to 3’ direction)? Substitution of C with G No change4 Deletion of Both I & III
"Unlike what happens in DNA replication, where both strands are copied, only one of the two strands is transcribed into MRNA. The DNA strand that contains the gene is sometimes called the sense strand, or coding strand, and the DNA strand that gets transcribed to give RNA is called the antisense strand, or noncoding strand. Because the sense strand and the antisense strand are complementary, and because the DNA antisense strand and the newly formed RNA strand are also complementary, the RNA molecule produced during transcription is a copy of the DNA sense strand... The only difference is that the RNA molecule has a U everywhere the DNA sense strand has a T." Consider the following segment of a DNA sense strand: (5') CAA-ACT-ACG-GCG-TTG-CAG (3’)
What is the function of DNA helicase in DNA replication? to create an RNA primer to initiate DNA replication O to insert new bases during elongation, using the parent strand as a template O to anneal (splice) smaller fragments of DNA to create one continuous strand to create replication bubbles by unravelling the parental strands of DNA O all of the above
