- What is the function of DNA polymerase? a. It degrades DNA in cells. b. It adds RNA nucleotides to a new strand. c. It coils DNA around histones to form chromosomes. d. It adds DNA nucleotides to a replicating strand. e. None of these.arrow_forwardWhy is DNA replication called semiconservative?arrow_forwardThe enzymatic activity of prokaryotic DNA polymerases is faster than that of eukaryotic DNA polymerases, but the overall rate of DNA replication is faster in eukaryotes than prokaryotes. How is this possible? Group of answer choices Prokaryotic but not eukaryotic DNA replication requires a primer. Eukaryotic but not prokaryotic DNA replication proceeds from multiple origins. Prokaryotic DNA replication is a more complex process, with time-consuming polymerase switching that is not needed in eukaryotes. Prokaryotic but not eukaryotic DNA replication proceeds from both 5’ --> 3’ and 3’ --> 5’ Prokaryotic DNA polymerases and not eukaryotic polymerases have proofreading ability.arrow_forward
- All of the following are differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic replication except for: Group of answer choices 1 Eukaryotes lose parts of their chromosomes after each round of replication 2 Eukaryotes have multiple origins of replication 3 Prokaryotes have fewer types of DNA polymerases 4 Prokaryotes have to replicate nucleosomesarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about replication is false? The proofreading function of DNA polymerases involves 3’ 5’ exonuclease activity. Origins of replication are rich in G-C nucleotide pairs. A characteristic of aging cells is that telomeres become shorter. The lagging strand is synthesized in the opposite direction as the movement of the replication fork. DNA polymerase is more accurate that RNA polymerase.arrow_forwardHow is bacterial DNA replication similar to eukaryotic DNA replication? Multiple Choice Both bacterial and eukaryotic DNA replication have a single origin of replication. Both bacterial and eukaryotic DNA replication require telomerase. Both bacterial and eukaryotic DNA replication are semiconservative. Both bacterial and eukaryotic DNA replication result in one DNA double helix that was the template and one completely new DNA double helix. All of these are similarities between bacterial and eukaryotic DNA replication.arrow_forward
- Which of the following statements BEST describes the process of DNA Replication? Group of answer choices The two strands of the parental molecule separate and serves as template for synthesis of a new strand. Each new strand is identical to its template strand. Each strand of both daughter molecules contains a mixture of old and newly synthesized DNA. The two parental strands reassociate after acting as templates for new strands restoring the parental double helix.arrow_forwardWhich of the following are differences between prokaryotic DNA replication and eukaryotic DNA replication? (select all that apply) Group of answer choices: 1. Eukaryotic DNA is linear, while prokaryotic DNA is circular and undergoes theta replication 2. Eukaryotic genomes often have multiple chromosomes, while prokaryotic genomes are usually only made up of one chromosome 3. DNA polymerase 3 adds dNTPs to the growing DNA strand in eukaryotes, while DNA polymerase 2 adds dNTPs to the growing DNA strand in prokaryotes 4. In eukaryotes, DNA polymerase requires a primer to add nucleotides to growing DNA strand, while in prokaryotes, no primer is needed to add nucleotides to the growing DNA strand 5. Longer telomeres are added to the end of prokaryotic chromosomes than are added to the ends of eukaryotic chromosomes 6. Eukaryotic DNA will have multiple origins of replication, while prokaryotic DNA only have onearrow_forwardIn DNA replication, the fundamental reason that Okasaki fragments are produced is that Group of answer choices DNA replication can proceed only in the 5’ to 3’ direction replication on the leading strand is slower than replication on the lagging strand DNA polymerase tends to slip while replicating the lagging strand DNA polymerase has to alternate between the leading and lagging strands during replication none of these are true.arrow_forward
- Which of the following replication proteins is incorrectly paired with it’s function? DNA polymerase - adds nucleotides to the growing strand Single stranded binding proteins - hold the DNA strands apart while they are being replicated Ligase - enhances separation of DNA strands Topoisomerase - relieves torsional stress due to unwinding by the DNA Primase - synthesizes a short RNA sequence to initiate replicationarrow_forwardWhich of the following statements about DNA replication is correct? Group of answer choices the leading strand is replicated continuously, while the lagging strand is replicated discontinuously on the leading strand, the new nucleotides are added only to the 5' end of the nucleotide chain on the lagging strand, the new nucleotides are added only to the 5' end of the nucleotide chain DNA polymerase works from 3'--> 5' onlyarrow_forwardWhich of the following enzymes can break, and rejoin, phosphodiester bonds during the normal DNA replication process in the chromosomes of E. coli cells? single-stranded binding proteins RNA polymerase topoisomerase DNA helicase DNA ligasearrow_forward
