Chapter 7, Problem 21P

Raymond Rodriguez and colleagues demonstrated conclusively that DNA replication in E.coli is bidirectional. Explain why locating the origin of replication on one side of the circular chromosomes and the terminus of replication on the opposite side of the chromosome supported this conclusion.

Suppose that replication is initiated in a medium containing moderately radioactive tritiated thymine. After a few minutes of incubation, the bacteria are transferred to a medium containing highly radioactive tritiated thymidine. Sketch the autoradiographic pattern that would be seen for (a) undirectional replication and (b) bidirectional replication, each from a single origin.
What observation in the Meslson and Stahl experiment to decipher the DNA replication model distinguishes the semi-conservative from the dispersive mode of replication? Explain.
If the sequence 5′-AACGC-3′ were damaged by reactive oxygen species, what would be the most prevalent product, and what would be the result of replication? (Note: show both strands after replication)
