An investigator obtains a bacterial temperature-sensitive mutation that affects a step in the process of DNA replication at 42°C but not at 30°C. She grows the cells at 30°C and, upon shifting the temperature to 42°C, she discovers that Okazaki fragments accumulate in unusually large quantities. What is the likely target affected by the temperature-sensitive mutation? primase DNA polymerase III DNA helicase DNA Ligase DNA gyrase

The anti-viral drug Acyclovir is a nucleotide analog that is lacking the 3’ OH group which is required to form a 3’→5’ phosphodiester bond. This drug is ineffective against DNA polymerases with proofreading abilities, which is why human DNA polymerases are not targeted. Acyclovir can be used to treatsevere cases of Epstein-Barr viral (EBV) infection, but has little to no effect under non-severe infections. Based on this information, EBV will use ________ DNA polymerase during severe infections and __________ DNA polymerase during non-severe infections. Human; Human EBV; Human EBV; EBV Human; EBV

Reiji and Tuneko Okazaki conducted a now classic experiment in1968 in which they discovered a population of short fragmentssynthesized during DNA replication. They introduced a shortpulse of 3H-thymidine into a culture of E. coli and extracted DNAfrom the cells at various intervals. In analyzing the DNA aftercentrifugation in denaturing gradients, they noticed that as theinterval between the time of 3H-thymidine introduction and thetime of centrifugation increased, the proportion of short strandsdecreased and more labeled DNA was found in larger strands.What would account for this observation?
