Flashcards in DNA Synthesis Deck (14):
1
The daughter DNA strand is synthesized in which direction?
5'-->3'
2
The template strand of DNA is read in which direction during synthesis of a daughter strand?
3'-->5'
3
DNA Pol requires what in order to replicate DNA?
Free 3' --OH
4
This enzyme adds primers to DNA for replication
Primase (RNA primer)
5
Function of telemerase
Extend telomeres using reverse transcription
6
Prokaryotic DNA replication initiation
Binding of DnaA protein at point of orgin OriC, proceeds bidirectionally
7
This enzyme adds RNA primers to DNA strand in prokaryotic replication
DNA primase
8
This DNA Pol fills in the gaps left by Okazaki fragments
Pol I
9
Function of clamp proteins (prokaryotic)
Hold DNA Pol onto template strand
10
DNA Pol that has "proofreading" function
DNA Pol III
11
DNA synthesis can only occur during what time of the eukaryotic cell cycle?
S phase
12
What is the major DNA Pol in eukaryotes?
Pol delta
13
How long are Okazaki fragments in eukaryotes?
~200 bp
