The following statements are correct EXCEPT: A) Information in the DNA is transcribed int mRNA and translated into proteins B) Information in the DNA is translated int mRNA and transcribed into proteins C) Information in the DNA is copied by DNA polymerase D) The lagging strand during DNA replication is synthesized continuously to form the okazaki fragments E) B and D
In eukaryotes, replication starts more or less simultaneously at multiple points of origin along a chromosome. What pattern of radioactivity would be found after briefly exposing to radioactive adenine a cell that is just beginning to replicate, and then quickly replacing the radioactive with nonradioactive adenine? many short sections of radioactive DNA one radioactive section of DNA starting at one particular end of the chromosomes many short radioactive strands of DNA in the leading strands only many short radioactive sections of DNA in the lagging strands only no radioactive sections in the DNA
Which of the following statements regarding DNA Synthesis at the ends of linear chromosomes is true? Because DNA polymerase has proofreading capablities, replication at the ends of linear chromosomes is usually error-free, and telomerase, an enzyme composed of both RNA and protein, simply ensures that any incorporated errors are corrected. O DNA synthesis at the ends of linear chromosomes is a problem also observed in prokaryotic cells. Ov. Cancer in humans is associated with a reduction in the activity of telomerase. y Telomerase, an enzyme composed of both RNA and protein. fünctions by cleaving the 3 overhangs that are left by DNA polymerase.
Is the DNA chromosomes replication of prokaryotic cells: bidirectional, semi-conservative, and completely continues?
If we are given this segment of DNA: TTGGHTGUTGG HHUUTHUGHUU Let’s suppose this DNA was treated with nitrous acid. The nitrous acid was then removed, and the DNA replicated for two generations. What would be the sequences of the DNA products after the DNA had replicated two times? (note Hypoxanthine pairs with cytosine) and so there would be four sets?
For the following steps in DNA replication, name the prokaryotic and eukaryotic enzymes (in that order!) that perform the task listed: Question 33 options: Tethering a polymerase to DNA (prokaryotes) Removing supercoils (eukaryotes) Removing supercoils (prokaryotes) Lagging strand replication (eukaryotes) Lagging strand replication (prokaryotes) Tethering a polymerase to DNA (eukaryotes) Stabilizing single-stranded DNA (prokaryotes) Stabilizing single-stranded DNA (eukaryotes) 1. DNA Pol III 2. DNA Pol Delta () 3. DNA Pol Epsilon () 4. Helicase 5. Topoisomerase (type I or II) 6. Beta clamp 7. PCNA 8. SSB 9. RPA 10. DNA Pol I 11. Ligase
Which of the followings statements are true about DNA polymerase? 1.) It can only go in one direction, meaning the lagging strand can't be synthesized continuously. 2.) It cannot start a DNA strand from scratch, so another enzyme is needed to create "primers" as a starting point. 3.) It cannot copy epigenetic marks (such as methyl groups) on its own; these must be "copied" onto the daughter DNA strand by other enzymes after DNA replication. 4.) All of the above
Why is DNA replication is considered a semi-discontinuous process? Explain in detail.
The statement “DNA replicates by a semiconservative mechanism” means that (a) only one DNA strand is copied (b) first one DNA strand is copied and then the other strand is copied (c) the two strands of a double helix have identical base sequences (d) some portions of a single DNA strand are old and other portions are newly synthesized (e) each double helix consists of one old and one newly synthesized strand
Which of the following plays a substantial role in linking together sister chromatids immediately after replication?a) Cohesinsb) Condensinsc) Histonesd) Topoisomerases
If the sequence of one single strand of DNA is C-A-A-G-T-A-G-G-C-T, what is the sequence of the complementary strand? Describe the origin of each strand of the new double helices created after DNA replication. Why is DNA replication important to the growth and development of a multicellular organism? Place the following terms in the correct order from smallest to largest: Nucleosome, supercoils, coils, chromosome, DNA double helix
