A. elongation adds new ribonucleotides to the 3-OH B. requires a primer to initiate synthesis C. have 3' to 5' exonuclease activity D. adds nucleotides based on sequence complementarity to a template E. have 5' to 3' polymerase activity O F. elongation adds new ribonucleotides to the 2'-OH G. have 3' to 5' polymerase activityarrow_forwardQuestion 1: The restriction enzyme Sau3A recognizes the sequence 5'-/GATC-3' and cleaves on the 5' side of the G as indicated by the slash. Since the top and bottom strands of this restriction site are identical in the 5'-3' direction, only one strand of the site needs to be shown. The single-stranded ends produced by Sau3A cleavage are identical to those produced by BamHI, which recognizes the sequence 5'-G/GATCC-3' and cuts at the location of the slash. This means that an end cut by one enzyme can be ligated onto an end cut by the other enzyme by DNA Ligase. Given this information, answer the following questions: A) Write out both strands of the recognition sequences for BamHI and Sau3A, show what they would look like after they are cut, and what the DNA would look like after you ligate a BamHI site to a Sau3A site. Make sure that it is easy to follow the individual pieces of DNA. You may want to use two different colors to keep them separate. B) What fraction of BamHI sites can be…arrow_forward

The study of such patients has enhanced our knowledge of DNA repair because XP is caused by defective DNA repair nucleotide excision repair. (A variant, XP-V, is deficient in postreplication repair.) In nucleotide excision repair A. removal of the damaged bases occurs on only one strand of the DNA. B. only thymine dimers generated by UV light can be removed .
