Document Summary

Single stranded: dna synthesis occurs in the: 5" 3" direction. Dna polymerase is an enzyme that extends a dna chain, takes the individual nucleotide triphosphates and joins them together to make a long dna polymer. The 5" end of the dna has a phosphate group on it while the 3" end has a hydroxyl group on it. The way it extends the chain is by incorporating a nucleotide triphosphate at the 3" end of the dna; the 3" hydroxyl attaches to the triphosphate group of the nucleotide triphosphate, liberating pyrophosphate to form a phosphodiester bond. The energy of the hydrolysis is the energy used in making the dna molecule/chain. Dideoxynuelotide termination of elongation: you are analyzing a piece of dna from an unknown organism and see that there is only one origin of replication. Replication only occurs in the s-phase of interphase cycle: label each protein involved in dna replication and label the leading and lagging strand.
