Students have asked these similar questions
How are nucleotides connected to each other in a single strand of DNA?
A.
The nitrogenous bases and acids link the separate nucleotides into a chain.
B.
The phosphate group of one nucleotide binds to the sugar on the next nucleotide.
C.
The hydroxy group of one nucleotide stabilizes the phosphate group of the adjacent nucleotide.
D.
The sugar of one nucleotide binds directly to the sugar of the adjacent nucleotide.
What is DNA polymerase?
a.An enzyme that carries out DNA replication
b.Short, single strand of DNA that base-pairs with a specific DNA sequence
c.An enzyme that corrects mutations that arise during the replication of DNA
d.An enzyme that seals any gaps that remain between bases of replicating strands of DNA
When two adjacent bases in the same strand of DNA dimerize (form a covalent bond between them), what happens to the DNA?
a.
the original strand of DNA now contains a new DNA sequence
b.
the original strand of DNA is prevented from opening during replication, so this section of DNA will not be replicated
c.
the original strand of DNA is methylated, which causes the bases to mismatch
d.
the original strand of DNA is kinked, which prevents DNA polymerase from working properly
e.
the original strand of DNA is unaffected, so no additional mutations arise
