Summary Introduction

Introduction: DNA consists of genetic instructions in the form of gene sequences. Replication of DNA is semi-conservative. The parental strand acts as a template for the formation of a new daughter strand. This process is performed at the beginning of cell division so that each daughter cell inherits an identical DNA copy. DNA replication proceeds with a three-step process and requires template DNA strand, primers, DNA nucleotides, and enzymes—DNA polymerase, primase, helicase, ligase, and topoisomerase.

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
Which of the following is/are true regarding the enzyme primase?  a: primase functions during cellular DNA replication. b: without primase activity, DNA polymerase in our cell can NOT begin synthesizing new nucleotide chains. c: primase uses dNTP building blocks d: primase is a polymerase enzyme e: primase functions AFTER DNA helicase activity.  Ps: This has multiple answers. thank you.
List the stage of DNA replication when each of the following enzymes is active. a. helicase b. primase c. DNA polymerases d. ligase e. topoisomerase f. DNA gyrase
Which statement about Okazaki fragments is true? Select one: a. DNA polymerase doesn’t need a primer to build these fragments    b. They act as a primer that initiates DNA replication.   c. They correct errors made during earlier phases of DNA replication.   d. They are necessary because DNA polymerase can only build DNA in the 5’ to 3’ direction, so for one of the strands at each fork, the DNA polymerase can only buildaway from the fork.    e. They prevent the ends of chromosomes from shortening with every replication.
