Which of the following regarding DNA replication is FALSE.Replication of DNA is highly regulated.DNA is the only biomolecule that can be replicated.Replication is an amazingly complex process: it is amazing that can occur in aphysiologically relevant time frame.The fact that DNA can be replicated allows it to serve as the genetic material.The progeny receive one strand that originated from the parent and one newlysynthesized strand.

There are four classes of biological macromolecules: Nucleic acids, proteins, lipids and…

During DNA replication the synthesis of the leading strand of DNA results in fragments known as: Okazaki fragments Satellite segments Kornberg segment Double-helix segment
As DNA is replicated, both continuous and discontinuous replication occur. Discontinuous replication is the result of which specific feature of DNA? major groove antiparallel strands action of helicase at the replication fork purine and pyrimidine nucleotides covalent bonds
The 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.
What is the consequence of an error that is not corrected during DNA replication? Choose one: It causes the DNA strands to separate. It leads to the formation of a mutation. It prevents DNA from being transcribed.
During semi-conservative DNA replication, which step must occur first? The hydrogen bonds found between the nitrogenous bases must be broken. RNA must be transcribed. New plasmids must be synthesized. The phosphodiester bonds between the nucleotides must be broken.
What is the first line of defense among all the various DNA repair processes? cleavage of glycosidic bonds ligation of synthesized strands proofreading DNA synthesis using DNA polymerase excision of wrong bases
The origin of replication is GC rich. true or false
DNA polymerase 1 has 5' - 3' polymerase activity. 5'-3' exonuclease activity and 3'-5' exonuclease activity necessary for DNA replication. Mutations in the gene that encodes DNA polymerase 1 may cause the enzyme to lose its function. Match the consequence of the lost function mutation to the corresponding lost activity.
Which statement is true about dna replication
Because of the way the lagging strand of an DNA molecule is replicated, the 3' end of the molecule is usually not completely copied into a double-stranded molecule. Why doesn't this normally affect cell function? the genes in this area are duplicated elsewhere on the chromosome DNA is not important for normal cell function there are only genes on the other strand of DNA - not on the one ending in 3' the telomere region does not contain genes
Which of the following enzymes is not involved in bacterial DNA replication? DNA Polymerase III telomerase primase DNA polymerase I ligase
Which of the following statements is/are TRUE about DNA repair? Question 24 options: Ensure no mutations to ever occur in a cell. May occur in dividing and non-dividing cells. May involve in the synthesis of new DNA. May be error prone.
