In the Meselson–Stahl experiment thatestablished the semiconservative nature of DNA replication,the extraction method produced short fragments of DNA. Whatsort of results might have been obtained with longer piecesof DNA?
a) If you isolated DNA from the ear and the tail of the same mouse, would you expect the DNA, isolated from the two tissue types, to be the same? Why?
b) Provide one difference between DNA replication in eukaryotes and prokaryotes with regard to their origin (s) of replication.
A biochemist isolates, purifies, and combines in a test tubea variety of molecules needed for DNA replication. Whenshe adds some DNA to the mixture, replication occurs, buteach DNA molecule consists of a normal strand paired withnumerous segments of DNA a few hundred nucleotides long.What has she probably left out of the mixture?(A) DNA polymerase(B) DNA ligase(C) Okazaki fragments(D) primase

- On paper, replicate the following segment of DNA: 5’ A T C G G C T A C G T T C A C 3’ 3’ T A G C C G A T G C A A G T G 5’a. Show the direction of replication of the new strands and explainwhat causes lagging and leading strands to show different patternsof replication.b. Explain how this is semiconservative replication. Are the newstrands identical to the original segment of DNA?arrow_forwardAn 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 gyrasearrow_forwardDescribe the early models of DNA replication that were investigated and explain how research by Meselson and Stahl supported the current model . Explain the role of each of the following in DNA replication. - helicase - Gyrase - RNA primer - DNA polymerase - Okazaki fragments - DNA ligasearrow_forward
- Which of the comparisons between DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase is false? -Both DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase have proofreading activity. -DNA polymerase requires an additional enzyme to unwind double-stranded DNA molecules, but RNA polymerase does not. -Both DNA and RNA polymerase catalyze the addition of nucleotides to the 3’ end. -DNA polymerase needs a free 3’-OH to begin the polymerization reaction, but RNA polymerase does not.arrow_forwardWhich statement about Okazaki fragments is true? Select one: a. DNA polymerase doesn’t need a primer to build these fragments b. They act as a primer that initiates DNA replication. c. They correct errors made during earlier phases of DNA replication. d. They are necessary because DNA polymerase can only build DNA in the 5’ to 3’ direction, so for one of the strands at each fork, the DNA polymerase can only buildaway from the fork. e. They prevent the ends of chromosomes from shortening with every replication.arrow_forwardSuppose a future scientist explores a distant planet and discovers a novel form of double-stranded nucleic acid. When this nucleic acid is exposed to DNA polymerases from E. coli, replication takes place continuously on both strands. What conclusion can you draw about the structure of this novel nucleic acid?arrow_forward
- In terms of new DNA strands that are generated, what are the differences between replication and conventional polymerase chain reactions?arrow_forwardWhy does DNA replication need to be error-free? Why does the DNA need to be a “careful reader?” What is the importance of DNA replication to DNA’s function of storing genetic information?arrow_forwardWhat happened to the DNA at the different temperatures (95, 75, 55 degrees)? How does Polymerase Chain Reaction exploit this property of DNA?arrow_forward
