Illustrate some steps involved in DNA replication :Suppose the following base sequence was found in a segment of one strand of a DNA molecule: 3’ A-A-T-A-C-C-T-C-C-T-A-A-C-T 5’
What would be the bases in the complementary strand? Label the 3’ and the 5’ ends.
Illustrate the DNA molecule below. Label the 3’ and the 5’ ends of both strands.
Separate the above DNA molecule up to the seventh base. Add one primer for the leading strand complementary to the first base Adenine of the template strand. Add one primer for the lagging strand complementary to the seventh base Adenine of the template strand. Illustrate the DNA molecule. Label the 3’ and 5’ ends.
Elongate the new strands up the seventh base by adding DNA bases complementary to the template strand. Illustrate the resulting DNA molecule. Label the 3’ and the 5’ ends of the template strands and the complementary strands.

– Draw a DNA strand with 10 adenine bases followed by 10 cytosine bases. If that same strand bonded to a strand of 15 thymine bases and 5 guanine bases, how would the double helix shape vary from a typical DNA double helix? Explain why. Must draw picture of both strands that helps to illustrate your written answer – no credit for one without the other.
Which of the following statements about nucleic acids is not correct?
Select one:
A.
In DNA the distance between the strands of the double helix is relatively constant.
B.
The growing DNA polymer is synthesized in the 5' to 3' direction.
C.
The enzymes that catalyze DNA synthesis are known as DNA polymerases.
D.
RNA strands are synthesized in the 3' to 5' direction.
E.
Unlike DNA, RNA is easily cleaved because the 2'-OH group of the ribose is a nucleophile that catalyzes hydrolysis of the strand.
