Which of the following statements best

explains the mechanism for DNA replication?

• DNA replication is reductive, because half the total DNA present is copied.

• DNA replication is dispersive, because the two resulting DNA molecules are mixtures of parent and daughter DNA.

• DNA replication is semi-conservative, because each DNA strand serves as a template during replication.

What is the function of the enzyme DNA

polymerase?

• Gluing together Okazaki fragments

• Unzipping the two strands

• Joining together nucleotide during replication

• Stabilizing the double helix DNA

Okazaki fragments occur with replicating

what?

• Lagging strand

• Both leading and lagging strand

• Leading strand

When does DNA replication occur during

the cell cycle?

• G1 phase

• S phase

• G2 phase

• Telophase

Which of the following best describes the

arrangement of the sides of the DNA

molecule?

• Twisted

• Bonded
