How the synthesis of the leading strand be affected if DNA pol I was non-functional and also point out the location of function of DNA pol I in the given figure. Concept introduction : DNA is a double-stranded molecule. During its replication, the two parent strands unwind, and each strand acts a template for the synthesis of a new strand. DNA polymerase enzyme adds nucleotides in the 5′-3′ direction. In one strand, the synthesis is continuous toward the fork in the 5′-3′ direction and is known as the leading strand. In the other strand (3′-5′ direction), the synthesis is discontinuous and proceeds through short segments called Okazaki fragments. It is known as the lagging strand.

Summary Introduction

To determine: How the synthesis of the leading strand be affected if DNA pol I was non-functional and also point out the location of function of DNA pol I in the given figure.

The diagram below illustrates a quorum sensing pathway from Staphylococcus aureus. Please answer the following questions. 1. Autoinduction is part of the quorum sensing system. Which promoter (P2 or P3) is critical for autoinduction? 2)This staphylococcus aureus grows on human wounds, causing severe infections. You would like to start a clinical trial to treat these wound infections. Please describe: a) What molecule do you recommend for the trial. Why? b) Your trial requires that Staphylococcus aureus be isolated from the wound and submitted to genome sequencing before admittance. Why? What are you testing for? 3) If a mutation arises where the Promoter P3 is constitutively active, how would that influence sensitivity to AIP? Please explain your rationale. 4) This pathway is sensitive to bacterial cell density. Describe two separate mutation that would render the pathway active independent of cell density. Briefly explain your rationale. Mutation 1 Mutation 2
