Q

THeSis PDOLLi [DNA replication process (analysis)]

A
  1. Topoisomerase - relieves unwinding strain ahead of replication forks by breaking, swiveling and rejoining DNA strands
  2. Helicase - unwind parental double helix at replication fork
  3. Single-strand binding protein - binds to and stabilizes single-stranded DNA until it is used as a template
  4. Primase - synthesizes RNA primer from 5’ end of leading strand and 5’ end of each Okazaki fragments of lagging strand
  5. DNA POLYMERASE (1) DNA pol III - synthesizes new DNA strand by adding nucleotides to an RNA primer or pre-existing DNA nucleotides
    (2) DNA pol I - removes RNA nucleotides of primer and replaces them with DNA nucleotides
  6. DNA Ligase - joins Okazaki fragments of lagging strand

Q

Which statement is INCORRECT about the importance of DNA replication

A. DNA replication makes an exact copy.
B. DNA must be replicated everytime a cell
divides.
C. Replication ensures that the correct genetic
information is passed on from cell to cell and
generation to generation.
D. Errors in replication can cause mutation, thus
replication is low fidelity.
E. It is essential for the continuation of life.

A

D
low fidelity —-> high fidelity
