front 1 The leading and the lagging strands differ in that | back 1 the leading strand is synthesized in the same direction as the movement of the replication fork, and the lagging strand is synthesized in the opposite direction. |
front 2 A new DNA strand elongates only in the 5' to 3' direction because | back 2 DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the free 3' end. |
front 3 What is the function of topoisomerase? | back 3 relieving strain in the DNA ahead of the replication fork |
front 4 What is the role of DNA ligase in the elongation of the lagging strand during DNA replication? | back 4 It joins Okazaki fragments together. |
front 5 Which of the following help(s) to hold the DNA strands apart while they are being replicated? | back 5 single-strand binding proteins |
front 6 Which of the following would you expect of a eukaryote lacking telomerase? | back 6 a reduction in chromosome length in gametes |
front 7 Which of the enzymes removes the RNA nucleotides from the primer and adds equivalent DNA nucleotides to the 3' end of Okazaki fragments? | back 7 IV DNA polymerase I |
front 8 Which of the enzymes covalently connects segments of DNA? | back 8 I helicase |
front 9 Which of the following sets of materials are required by both eukaryotes and prokaryotes for replication? | back 9 double-stranded DNA, four kinds of dNTPs, primers, origins |
front 10 In a linear eukaryotic chromatin sample, which of the following strands is looped into domains by scaffolding? | back 10 the 30-nm chromatin fiber |
front 11 Which of the following statements describes the eukaryotic chromosome? | back 11 It consists of a single linear molecule of double-stranded DNA plus proteins. |
front 12 Which of the following statements describes chromatin?*** | back 12 Heterochromatin is highly condensed, whereas euchromatin is less compact. |
