DNA Replication Quiz Answers
What is the function of DNA polymerase I?
- To remove RNA primers and replace them with the correct nucleotides.
- To remove RNA primers and replace them with the correct nucleotides and check replicated DNA and replace incorrect nucleotides.
- To replicate a strand of DNA by adding nucleotides.
- To check replicated DNA and replace incorrect nucleotides.
- The lagging strand.
- The leading strand.
- Both the leading strand and the lagging strand.
- Neither.
- Okazaki fragments.
- DNA polymerase I and III.
- Replication bubbles.
- All of the above.
- Bidirectional.
- Semiconservative.
- Bidirectional and semiconservative.
- Neither.
- 3' to 5'
- 5' to 3'
- Depends if it is on the leading strand or the lagging strand.
- None of these answers are correct.
- DNA polymerase III splits the DNA strand and then adds the appropiate bases to the new strands.
- When the enzyme helicase breaks apart the hydrogen bonds on the original DNA strand.
- When RNA primers attach to the strand and prepare for the entery of the helicase enzyme.
- The DNA strand splits apart when ready for replication and RNA primers attach to the strands.
- To aid in the placement of nucleotide bases.
- To break apart the strands of the parent DNA.
- To anneal the DNA strands after replication.
- To form a phosphodiester bond joining Okazaki fragments.
- Gyrase splits the DNA strand and DNA polymerase III adds nucleotides using RNA primers as the starting points.
- DNA polymerase I splits the DNA strand into two and uses primase to add nucleotides.
- Helicase splits the DNA strand and DNA polymerase III adds nucleotides using RNA primers as the starting points.
- Primase adds RNA primers which enables the helicase to split apart the strand and allows DNA polymerase III to add nucleotides in a 5' to 3' direction.
- A general enzyme that is used to reduce the strain on the DNA when unwinding.
- An enzyme that is used in bacteria to split apart the DNA strand.
- An enzyme that is used to aid helicase in the splitting of DNA.
- An enzyme that is used in bacteria to reduce the strain on the DNA strands when unwinding.
- The leading strands travel away from the replication fork in a 3' to 5' direction while the lagging strands travel towards the replication fork in a 3' to 5' direction.
- The leading strands travel towards the replication fork in a 3' to 5' direction while the lagging strands travel away from the replication fork in a 3' to 5' direction.
- The leading strands travel towards the replication fork in a 5' to 3' direction while the lagging strands travel away from the replication fork in a 5' to 3' direction.
- The leading strands travel away from the replication fork in a 5' to 3' direction while the lagging strands travel towards the replication fork in a 5' to 3' direction.
