Document Summary

Rosalind franklin: x ray diffraction and found dna helix. Replication proceeds in both directions from each origin, until entire molecule is copied. Lagging strand: 3" to 5": starts with rna primer, okazaki fragments, dna pol i replaces rna with dna, dna ligase from bond between dna fragments. Mismatch repair of dna: repair enzymes correct errors. Postpone erosion of genes near the ends of dna. Cell division (reproduction of cells: chromatin condenses, dna replicated, each chromosome is duplicated to 2 sister chromatids. Transmit genes from one generation to the next. Somatic cells: all cells of the body except gametes and precursors. Locus: gene"s specific location along length of chromosome. Asexual reproduction: single individual is sole parent and passes copies of all genes. All genes to offspring without fusion of gametes. Sexual reproduction: 2 parents give rise to offspring with unique combination of genes. Homologous duplicated chromosomes: 2 chromosomes of a pair have same length, centromere position and starting patttern.

1) What is the difference between the leading strand and the lagging strand in DNA replication? Place the following steps of DNA replication in right chronological order.

1. Primase adds an ribonucleotide primer
2. Initiator proteins bind the origin of replication and helicase breaks hydrogen bonds between complementary bases of double stranded template DNA
3. DNA polymerase III extends by complementary base pairing deoxyribonucleotides to the template strands
4. Ligase phosphodiester bonds the nucleotides to connect okazaki fragments nad connect fragments at the origin and where the "crotches or forks" collide
5. DNA polymerase I removes RNA primer and replaces with Deoxyribonucleotides

2) Given the template DNA and primer sequences below, what bases will be added to the primer as DNA replication proceeds? (The bases should appear in the order that they will be added)

Order the following steps of the DNA replication process fromfirst to last. (From 1 to 8)

DNA ligase joins Okazaki fragmments together

Elongation of leading strands occurs continuosly and elongationof lagging strands occurs via generation of Okazaki fragments. Bothare synthesized in 5' to 3' direction.

DNA polymerase I removes the RNA primers and replaces them withDNA nucleotides

DNA polymerase III starts adding DNA nucleotides to the 3' endof the existing RNA chain.

Helicase untwists the double helix at the replication fork

Single-stranded binding proteins bind the unpaired DNA strands,keeping them from re-pairing.

Topoisomerase helps releive the strain caused by DNA untwisting.It breaks, swivels and rejoins DNA strands.

Primase starts a complementary RNA chain using parental DNAstrand as a template

C. Eukaryotic DNA replication begins at multiple origins of replication, while prokaryotic DNA replication begins at a single origin of replication.

D. Prokaryotic genomes take longer to replicate than eukaryotic genomes.

QUESTION 2. Bacterial cells use DNA replication to:

A. make back-up copies of their genome in case of a mutation.

B. manifest multiple phenotypes at once.

C. copy their genetic material prior to binary fission.

D. build functional proteins.

QUESTION 3. Choose the true statement about the genetic code.

A. A cell's mRNA code is read four nucleotides at a time to specify a single amino acid.

B. The genetic code encodes 64 amino acids, one for each of the 64 corresponding codons.

C. The genetic code is redundant, with multiple codons specifying a single amino acid.

D. The genetic code varies widely among organisms, with each having a different set of codons for a corresponding amino acid.

B. A slow rate of DNA replication contributes to accuracy.

C. The use of primase improves DNA replication accuracy.

D. DNA replication accuracy is improved thanks to complementary base pairing rules.
