Students have asked these similar questions
DNA replication is called semi-conservative because ___ (all, all or none) of the two new strands of DNA is old DNA from the original DNA molecule and ___ (all, all or none)Â is new DNA.
When DNA replicates, each resulting DNA molecule retains half of the original DNA strand. Because of this, the process is described as
Which of the following statements is TRUE of BOTH DNA replication and DNA transcription?
During the process, the DNA double helix is separated into single-stranded regions.
An intermediate in the process is an RNA-DNA hybrid helix.
During the process, only one single-stranded DNA region acts as a template.
Amino acids are matched to a strand of DNA to form a new polymer.

- A cell containing a single chromosome is placed in a medium containing radioactive phosphate, making a new DNA strand formed by DNA replication radioactive. The cell replicates its DNA and divides. Then the daughter cells replicate their DNA and divide, resulting in a total of four cells. Sketch the DNA molecules in all four cells, showing a normal DNA strand as a solid line and a radioactive DNA strand as a dashed line.arrow_forwardAn enzyme is needed for the Krebs Cycle. It will be made following the directions contained in a gene of one of the __29__ found in the __30__ of the cell. A portion of the double strand of __31__ splits apart between the weak__32__bonds holding the bases together. This portion contains the code for building the enzyme. The code message begins with a triplet call a _33__ , followed by the code, then signals the end with a triplet called the _34__. The DNA is composed of groups of three molecules called __35__ . They are made up of ribose __36__, a __37___ for additional support, and a nitrogenous __38___. These match up with complementary ones on the opposite strand of DNA.  A cytosine will pair up with __39___. An RNA uracil will pair up with __40___ on the DNA. When they line up and join, a __41__ RNA strand is formed.  This process of copying the code into RNA is called __42__. The RNA will move out to the cytoplasm, to an organelle called a __43__. There, __44___ RNA…arrow_forwardA mutation results in the presence of multiple DNA fragments on the newly synthesized DNA strand following DNA replication.

- the human immunodeficiency virus HIV uses RNA rather than DNA to encode genetic information. During infection, however, HIV uses an enzyme known as reverse transcriptase to generate double-stranded DNA. Generally speaking, how would the enzyme generate a double strand of DNA from a single strand of RNA?arrow_forwardDuring DNA Replication, _____________ is synthesized in a series of short pieces called  _______________arrow_forwardThe image below pertains to the process of DNA Replication. Fill in the following image with the appropriate nucleotides, enzyme name.  Draw the product of the process shown above.

- You see that a piece of DNA is being copied. But you cannot tell if this an example of DNA replication or RNA transcription. Describe three ways that you can tell the two processes apart.arrow_forwardIf a prokaryotic cell experienced a mutation that eliminated DNA polymerase's 3' to 5' exonuclease activity, what part of DNA synthesis would be affected? The single-stranded DNA would not remain open. The RNA primer could not be removed. The lagging strand fragments could not be connected together. The replication fork would be unable to move.arrow_forwardThe name of the enzyme that cuts the DNA in order to remove a section of broken DNA is calledarrow_forward
- A portion of one strand of DNA has the sequence 5′ AATGGCTTA 3′. If this strand is used as a template for DNA replication, write the sequence of the newly synthesized strand in the direction from left to right in which it will be synthesized.arrow_forwardA chromosome consists of a long DNA molecule wrapped around protein clusters. The DNA you extracted still has some protein bound to it. To get pure DNA, the protein must be removed. A common way to do that is to denature the protein. What would be an easy way to do that?arrow_forwardEach of these six terms fits into one (and only one) of the following blanks:  bases, proteins, amino acids, genes, chromosomes, codons. Write the letter corresponding to each space and then write which of the five terms goes with that letter. For instance, if you think the answer to space “a” is “chromosomes,” write a = chromosomes. DNA is found on pairs of ______a_______. ______b_______ are series of three _____c_____ that code for particular _____d_______.  _____e_____ are specific strings of codons. Amino acids are put together to form ________f______.arrow_forward
