Answer 6

DNA REPLICATION

Question 7

DNA replication begins at specific sites in the DNA molecule called

origins of replication

Question 8

Attached to single strand; breaks the hydrogen bonds between base pairs, and thereby unwind the strands; this action generates positive supercoiling ahead of each replication fork

Answer 8

DNA HELICASE

Question 9

It prevents the reannealing of DNA strand

Answer 9

Single-stranded Binding Proteins

Question 10

It alleviates supercoiling by inducing cuts

Answer 10

Question 17

DNA Synthesis on the Leading Strand:

On the leading strand, DNA polymerase synthesizes the new DNA strand continuously in the

Answer 17

5’ to 3’ direction

Question 18

DNA Synthesis on the Lagging Strand:

On the lagging strand, DNA polymerase synthesizes the new DNA strand discontinuously in the form of short fragments known as

Answer 18

Okazaki fragments

Question 19

needed at the start of each Okazaki fragment to provide a 3’ end for DNA polymerase to extend

Answer 19

RNA primers

Question 20

The gaps between the newly synthesized DNA fragments on the lagging strand are sealed by an enzyme called

Answer 20

DNA ligase

Question 20

removes the RNA primers and replaces them with DNA nucleotides on the lagging strand

Answer 20

DNA polymerase I

Question 20

DNA ligase forms __——————————————___________________________________ between adjacent nucleotides, creating a continuous strand of DNA on the lagging strand

Answer 20

phosphodiester bonds

Question 21

end product of replication

Answer 21

2 IDENTICAL DNA MOLECULES

Question 22

Binds to ter sequences and prevents the advancement of the replication fork

Answer 22

TUS

Answer 26

beta and epsilon

Question 27

# EUKARYOTIC Replicate mitochondrial DNA

Answer 27

GAMMA

Question 28

# EUKARYOTIC Synthesizes the leading strand, filling DNA gaps after removal of primer

Answer 28

delta

Question 29

DNA gyrase (topoisomerase 3)

Question 31

2 models of replication

Answer 31

1. Theta Model 2. Rolling Circle Model

Question 32

new DNA strand is cut, and the mispaired nucleotide and its neighbor is removed. The missing patch is replaced with correct nucleotides by a DNA polymerase.

Answer 32

MISMATCH REPAIR

Question 33

The unmatched base is removed, leaving a baseless nucleotide. The hole is filled with the right base.

Answer 33

BASE EXCISION REPAIR

Question 34

dimer is detected, and the surrounding DNA is opened to form a bubble. Enzymes cut the damaged region, and the DNA polymerase replaces the excised DNA.

Answer 34

NUCLEOTIDE EXCISION REPAIR
