Which of the following statements BEST describes the process of DNA Replication? Group of answer choices The two strands of the parental molecule separate and serves as template for synthesis of a new strand. Each new strand is identical to its template strand. Each strand of both daughter molecules contains a mixture of old and newly synthesized DNA. The two parental strands reassociate after acting as templates for new strands restoring the parental double helix.

During replication of a DNA molecule, the daughter strands are not produced in exactly the same manner. One strand, the leading strand, is made continuously toward the replication fork, while the lagging strand is made in fragments in the opposite direction. This difference in synthesis of the two strands is the result of which of the following? O a. DNA polymerase is not efficient enough to make two "good" strands of DNA O b. The two template strands are antiparallel, and DNA polymerase can only synthesize DNA in the 5' to 3' direction O c. The lagging strand is the result of DNA breaks caused by exposure to UV light Od. The cell does not contain enough nucleotides to make two complete strands Oe. Both B&D
Which of the following statements about DNA replication is correct? Group of answer choices the leading strand is replicated continuously, while the lagging strand is replicated discontinuously on the leading strand, the new nucleotides are added only to the 5' end of the nucleotide chain on the lagging strand, the new nucleotides are added only to the 5' end of the nucleotide chain DNA polymerase works from 3'--> 5' only
Which of the following statements is TRUE? Synthesis of the lagging strand requires more DNA helicase enzymes than synthesis of the leading strand. The lagging strand is synthesized in a semiconservative fashion while the leading strand is synthesized in a conservative fashion. The leading strand is replicated continuously for the entire length of the chromosome, e.g. while the lagging strand has multiple origins of replication The lagging strand has a higher mutation rate than the leading strand. None of the answers are true.
During DNA replication, DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the: 3' end of the newly synthesized strand as it moves toward the 3' end of the template strand 3' end of the newly synthesized strand as it moves toward the 5'end of the template strand 5' end of the newly synthesized strand as it moves toward the 5' end of the template strand 5' end of the newly synthesized strand as it moves toward the 3' end of the template strand none of the above 0 0 0 0 0
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
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
What proteins are crucial for creating and maintaining DNA replication forks? Choose the best explanation. Question 2 options: Helicase creates the replication fork; primase keeps the single strands from closing shut. Helicase creates the replication fork; single-strand binding proteins keep the single strands from reuniting. Ligase creates the replication fork; DNA polymerase II keeps the single strands from reuniting. Helicase creates the replication fork; ligase keeps the single strands from closing shut.
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

Which of the following best explains the leading daughter DNA strand? The leading strand is synthesized by the enzyme primase. It is polymerized discontinuously by DNA polymerase from 5' - 3' direction which leaves gaps knowns as Okazaki fragments. The gaps within the leading strand are sealed by DNA ligase. It is polymerized continuously by DNA polymerase from 5' - 3' direction.
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:
