1: Which organism, when replicating its DNA, will have only one origin of replication site?
a) mice
b) Humans
c) E. coli â(this was my answer)
d) plants

B) hydrogen bond the nucleotide bases together
C) covalently bonds a 3â hydroxyl to a 5â phosphate (this is my answer)
D) repairs DNA mutation
Question 3: In DNA replication, the term semiconservative means:
A) only one new strand of DNA is produced
B) each new strand produced pairs with itself, the old strands with themselves (This is my answer)
C) each replicated strand is made up randomly of old and new DNA
D) each newly replicated strand pairs with each old strand
