**Topic: DNA Replication Fork in E. Coli**1. **Proteins Involved in the DNA Replication Fork in E. Coli:** In the DNA replication process of *E. Coli*, several key proteins play crucial roles: - **DNA Helicase:** Unwinds the DNA double helix. - **Single-Strand Binding Proteins (SSB):** Stabilize the unwound single strands. - **DNA Primase:** Synthesizes RNA primers needed for DNA polymerase to start replication. - **DNA Polymerase III:** Main enzyme that adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand. - **DNA Polymerase I:** Replaces RNA primers with DNA nucleotides. - **DNA Ligase:** Joins Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand. - **Topoisomerase:** Relieves the torsional strain caused by the unwinding of DNA.2. **Function of Proteins:** Each protein in the replication fork has a specific function: - **Helicase** opens up the double helix by breaking hydrogen bonds. - **SSBs** bind to separated strands to prevent re-annealing. - **Primase** lays down RNA primers to initiate synthesis. - **DNA Polymerase III** extends the new DNA strand by adding nucleotides. - **DNA Polymerase I** removes primers and fills gaps with DNA. - **Ligase** connects DNA fragments to form a continuous strand. - **Topoisomerase** prevents over-winding ahead of the fork.3. **Bidirectional Replication of DNA Strands:** The DNA replication fork allows for the simultaneous replication of both the leading and lagging strands. The leading strand is synthesized continuously in the 5’ to 3’ direction, while the lagging strand is produced discontinuously in short segments called Okazaki fragments, which are later joined by DNA ligase to form a complete strand. This process ensures efficient and accurate duplication of the DNA molecule.

4) Replication of a circular DNA molecule can occur by either theta replication or by rolling circle replication. Describe or explain three differences between these two modes of DNA replication (you must accurately describe the differences between the two - an accurate statement about one form of replication that does not clearly indicate how the other form differs will not answer the qestion in it's entirety).
BONUS: Why do RNA viruses such as the COVID coronavirus, influenza virus and HIV have much higher mutation rates than DNA viruses such as Herpes viruses? O DNA polymerases which copy viral RNA have much higher mutation rates than RNA polymerases which copy viral DNA O RNA polymerases which copy viral RNA have much higher mutation rates than DNA polymerases which copy viral DNA RNA viral 60S ribosomes make many ore mutations than DNA viral 40S ribosomes O RNA viral gyrases make more mistakes than DNA viral helicases
5. DNA is made of two strands that are antiparallel. If one strand runs from 3' to 5' direction the other one will go from 5' to 3' direction. During replication or transcription, whatever the process is, it will always follow the 5' to 3' direction using the 3' to 5' directed strand as the template strand. Therefore, if following is the DNA sequence 5'-CCG ATC GCA CAA-3' a) Using this sequence as template after transcription no protein can be translated. Why? I. Presence of start codon II. Absence of start codon III. Due to mutation b) If you want to start the translation, what change you need in the second codon (from 5' to 3' direction)? I. Substitution of C with G II. No change III. Deletion of C IV. Both I & III
Below is a study of a colony of cells, determine that some of these cells have a mutated DNA polymerase I that results in loss of function of this enzyme. - What will the effect of the mutation in DNA polymerase I be on DNA replication?

18. If 32P is used to label both strands of double-stranded DNA, after two rounds of replication, four double-stranded molecules of DNA are produced. Of these,a. one of the four double-stranded molecules of DNA will contain all the 32Pb. two of the four double-stranded molecules of DNA will contain 32P, each with half of the 32Pc. three of the four double-stranded molecules of DNA will contain 32P, each with 1/3 of the 32Pd. all four double-stranded molecules of DNA will contain 32P, each with ¼ of the 32Pe. none of the double-stranded molecules of DNA will contain 32P

4.) During DNA replication, the two strands of DNA are pried apart and then serve as templates for synthesis of new strands. However, there are some big differences in how the two strands are copied. Why is this so? Please describe in 4-5 sentences of your own words how replication proceeds on the two strands. 5.) During meiosis, when crossing-over occurs between two homologous chromosomes, it does not happen at a single point, but rather two points with a stretch of DNA in between. What are the two junction points called? b. What is the region between the two points called and what is different about this region compared to how double-stranded DNA usually is? c. If the region described in b.) is located within a gene and the two homologues have different alleles of this gene, what might happen that is a direct violation of Mendel's first law? (Describe the process with 2-3 sentences of detail.) a.
When a cell is to divide, its DNA must be replicated (copied). a) Indicate the main participating components and their functions. b) Why is it important that the replication goes right and that relatively few mutations occur during the replication?
