Document Summary

In linear dna is feed through the replication complex. Synthesis goes into two directions: going to have a leading strand and the lagging strand. The leading strand moves along in the correct orientation, continuously flows. The lagging strand is in the reverse orientation and produce in small fragment. The small fragment is known as okazaki fragments. Okazaki fragment, they need to be join together. So dna polymerase 3 is use to synthesize the dna. It starts at the 3-prime end and moves along the dna. Dna polymerase 1 will replace the rna primer with dna. Dna ligase will anneal the okazaki fragments together. There are some dna at the end of the chromosome that are not fully replicated. The region at the end, use to stabilize the dna, is single stranded, known as the telomeres region, At the beginning of a new cell, the cell has a certain length of a telomere.

Question 3:

like mRNA, tRNA has a ribose sugar, U instead of T, and issingle stranded. Unlike mRNA, which remains a long single strand ofnucleotides, tRNA folds so that some areas pair up.

The resulting structure has an anticodon on one end and a site foran amino acid to attach on the other end. There is basecomplementarity (A pairs with U and G pairs with C) between an mRNAcodon and tRNA anticodon.

If the amino acid tyrosine attaches to a tRNA, which of thefollowing anticodons could be at the opposite end of the tRNAmolecule?

Select one:

a. ATA and ATG

b. UAU and UAC

c. AUA and AUG

d. AGA and AGU

I picked B.
