Document Summary

Dna replication: dna replication is process where cell makes exact copy of its own dna (copy dna . Helicase: breaks the h-bonding b/t bases to sperate strands. Ssb: binds to single strands to prevent them from binding again. Dna primase: primer is required to bind at orgin. Primers are short rna sequences synthesized by primase. Dna polymerase 2: synthesis new strand by reading nucleotide on template strand. When polymerase 2 operates on ladding strand it creates okazaki fragments. Poly 2 reads the parent strand in 3 5; synthesizes new strand in 5" 3". Leading strand: strand that is synthesised towards the replication fork. Lagging strand: being synthesized away from replication force. Rna primers added by primase needs to be removed. Poly 1 removes rna primers and fills gaps with dna sequences. Okazaki fragments created on lagging strand are combined by dna ligase. Dna ligase joins strands of dna by catalyzing reformatting of phosphodiester bond.

QUESTION 1. Compared to eukaryotic genomes, only prokaryotic genomes:

A. contain DNA organized by histones.

B. contain usually one, circular chromosome.

C. contain plasmid DNA.

D. have chromosomes contained in a nucleus.

QUESTION 2. Azathioprine is a drug that may be prescribed to transplant recipients to reduce the chance of tissue rejection reactions. In its active state, it acts as a purine analogue, inhibiting DNA biosynthesis. This means that 6-mercaptopurine will be inserted in place of a purine containing nucleotides during DNA replication. Given this drug's mode of action, you would expect it to be incorporated into DNA in place of:

A. nucleotides containing guanine or cytosine.

B. nucleotides containing adenine or thymine.

C nucleotides containing adenine or guanine.

D. nucleotides containing guanine nucleotide or uracil.

QUESTION 3. RNA is distinguished from DNA because only RNA:

A. typically exists as a single-stranded molecule.

B. has a 3' to 5' directionality.

C. is composed of nucleotides that contain the sugar deoxyribose.

D. is composed of nucleotides that contain the nitrogen bases T, C, G, and A.

QUESTION 4. How are RNA nucleotides different from DNA nucleotides? To be marked correct, you'll need to select all true statements, as there may be more than one correct answer.

A. RNA nucleotides do not contain thymine.

B. RNA nucleotides use the sugar ribose, while DNA nucleotides do not.

C. RNA nucleotides lack phosphate.

D. RNA nucleotides incorporate pyrimidine nitrogen bases, while DNA nucleotides only incorporate purine nitrogen bases.
