Bacteria are prokaryotic cells, i.e., they do not have a membrane-delimited nucleus. Eukaryotes have cells with a delimited nucleus. Where in these types of cells can DNA be found?
How would a scientist, observing a prokaryote and a eukaryote replicating their DNA, be able to distinguish the two? Group of answer choices Prokaryotic replication does not require a primer. Prokaryotic chromosomes have a single origin of replication, while eukaryotic chromosomes have multiple origins of replication. DNA polymerases of prokaryotes can add nucleotides to both 3' and 5' ends of DNA strands, while those of eukaryotes function only in the 5' --> 3' direction. DNA replication in prokaryotic cells is conservative. DNA replication in eukaryotic cells is semi-conservative.
Prokaryotic DNA and prokaryotic RNA differ from each other in all of the following ways except: only one of them contains deoxyribose sugars only one of them is usually double-stranded only one of them contains thymine bases only one of them contains ribose sugars only one of them contains phosphates
Which of the following does NOT describe DNA as it occurs in Eukaryotic cells. CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY: 1. nitrogenous bases of opposite strands are paired through covalent bonds 2. base pairs are stacked 3.4 A (0.34 nm) apart 3. the two strands of one double helix are complementary 4. two long polynucleotide chains 5. there are 20 base pairs per each turn of a double helix 6. adenine pairs with thymine of the neighboring nucleotide in a single DNA strand 7. bases face outside of the double helix 8. consecutive nucleotides of a single DNA strand are linked by hydrogen bonds 9. here are A-T and G-C pairs in DNA double helix 10. sugar-phosphate backbone of a single DNA strand is formed by linking deoxyribose units and phosphate groups through phosphodiester bonds 11. the two strands of one helix are antiparallel 12.double helix 13. the larger major groove alternates with the smaller minor groove along the length of the double stranded DNA I tried 2,3,4,9,10,11,12,13 together and got it…
Prokaryotes may contain both plasmid and thromosomal genomes. Classify each description as a characteristic of prokaryotic plasmids, prokaryotic chromosomes, or both. Plasmids only Chromosomes only Characteristics of both Answer Bank has a small selection of additional genes cell's primary DNA molecule usually transferred through a sex pilus used as a vector in biotechnology usually circular in shape replicates independently of the process of prokaryotic fission found in the cell's nucleoid pulled to opposite poles during prokaryotic fission made of nucleotides
Which statement below is true? Select one: O a. In eukaryotes, synthesis of the new DNA strand is from 3' to 5', whereas in prokaryotes it is from 5' to 3' O b. In eukaryotes, synthesis of the new DNA strand is from 5' to 3', whereas in prokaryotes it is random. O c. In eukaryotes, synthesis of the new DNA strand is from 5' to 3, whereas in prokaryotes it is from 3' to 5'! O d. In both eukaryotes and prokaryotes, the template strand of DNA is read in the template's 3' to 5' direction, while the new strand DNA is synthesized in new strand's 5' to 3' direction. O e. Okazaki fragments are produced in eukaryotic DNA replication but not in prokaryotic DNA replication.
