What is the role of DNA polymerase in DNA replication?
O A. DNA polymerase replicates tRNA, mRNA and rRNA
B. DNA polymerase adds A-U-G-C as compliments to the original DNA strand to make
an identical copy.
O C. DNA polymerase "unzips" the DNA
D. DNA polymerase adds complimentary free nucleotides to the original strand to
make and identical copy.

What is the correct chronological order of the initiation of DNA replication?
A. Hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs are broken at origin of replication
B. Primase binds to the site of origin.
C. DNA polymerase binds to the template strand.
D. An RNA primer is synthesized.
E. Incoming deoxynucleoside triphosphates are added to the growing strand.
In the dideoxy-sequencing reaction, what terminates DNA synthesis at a particular base? a. The absence of a base on the ddNTP halts the DNA polymerase. b. The ddNTP causes a break in the sugar–phosphate backbone. c. DNA polymerase will not incorporate a ddNTP into the growing DNA strand. d. The absence of a 3′-OH group on the ddNTP prevents the addition of another nucleotide.

- Which 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_forwardWhat describes or designates the 3' end of a DNA strand? a. an available hydroxyl group on the 5th carbon of a deoxyribose of a terminal nucleotide b. an available phosphate group on the 3rd carbon of a deoxyribose of a terminal nucleotide c. an available hydroxyl group on the 3rd carbon of a deoxyribose of a terminal nucleotide d. an available hydroxyl group on the 2nd carbon of a deoxyribose of a terminal nucleotidearrow_forwardA biochemist isolates, purifies and combines ina test tube a variety of molecules needed for DNA replication.
