Select the statement(s) that accurately describe the function of DNA polymerase and the types of mutations that may occur. Point mutations occur when a single nitrogenous base is substituted. Frameshift mutations occur when a nitrogenous base is inserted or deleted. Point mutations are less serious than frameshift mutations, as only a single base pair is affected. DNA has rare mutations during replication because DNA polymerase functions to build and repair errors in nitrogen base pairings of A-G and T-C. DNA has rare mutations during replication because DNA polymerase functions to build and repair errors in nitrogen base pairings of A-T and G-C. Point mutations occur when a nitrogenous base is inserted or deleted. Frameshift mutations occur when a single nitrogenous based is substituted.

Figure 9.10 You isolate a cell strain in which the joining together of Okazaki fragments is impaired and suspect that a mutation has occurred in an enzyme found at the replication fork. Which enzyme is most likely to be mutated?
On further analysis of the DNA described in conceptual questionC21, you discover that the triplex DNA in this alien organism iscomposed of a double helix with a third strand wound within themajor groove (just like the DNA in Figure shown). How would youpropose that this DNA is able to replicate itself? In your answer,be specific about the base-pairing rules within the double helixand which part of the triplex DNA would be replicated first.
5'-[seq]-3' The diagram shows the results of gel electrophoresis for Sanger sequencing. The wells are represented by open boxes and the DNA bands are represented by black boxes. The wells are labeled to show which dideoxy reaction was loaded into each. Write the sequence of the original template strand used for this sequencing reaction, with the 5’ end on the left and the 3’ end on the right.
5’-GATCAGCTGACTGGATCCGTCCTCAACGTCAGGATCCAGCTTCAAG-3’ 1. How many cuts do you expect this enzyme to make on the above DNA and how many fragments do you expect to see on your gel? Assume that they are all different sizes.
. The double-stranded circular DNA molecule thatforms the genome of the SV40 tumor virus can be denatured into single-stranded DNA molecules. Becausethe base composition of the two strands differs, thestrands can be separated on the basis of their densityinto two strands designated W(atson) and C(rick). When each of the purified preparations of the single strands was mixed with mRNA from cells infectedwith the virus, hybrids were formed between the RNAand DNA. Closer analysis of these hybridizationsshowed that RNAs that hybridized with the W preparation were different from RNAs that hybridized withthe C preparation. What does this tell you about thetranscription templates for the different classes ofRNAs?
