DNA replication

The picture below shows an enzyme unwinding and unzipping DNA.

​

​What is the name of this enzyme?

• DNA Helicase

• DNA Ligase

• DNA polyermase

• RNA Polymerase

Which of the following DNA nucleotides are paired with the correct corresponding DNA nucleotide? (mark all that apply)

• Adenine with Thymine

• Guanine with Cytosine

• Thymine with Cytosine

• Adenine with Uracil.

• Uracil with Thymine

You are given the DNA strand 5'ATGCTCAGCTGA3'. What is the corresponding DNA strand?

• 5'UACGAGUCGACU3'

• 5'TACGAGTCGACT3'

• 3'UACGAGUCGACU5'

• 3'TACGAGTCGACT5'

Which is the role of DNA polymerase?

• Unwinds the original DNA strand

• Lays down RNA primer for new nucleotide bases.

• Builds new strands by bringing in new nucleotide bases.

• Remove Okazaki fragments for new nucleotides.

Which is the last step of DNA replication?

• RNA Helicase unwinds original DNA strand

• DNA Primase lays down RNA primer for new nucleotide bases.

• RNA polymerase builds new strands by bring in new nucleotide bases.

• Ligase knits together fragments on lagging strand

DNA replication puts down nucleotides ______' to _____' and is said to be ______________________

• 5, 3, antiparallel

• 3, 5, antiparallel

• 5, 3, parallel

• 3, 5, parallel

Nitrogenous bases are joined by which type of bond?

• polar bonds
• ionic bonds
• covalent bonds
• hydrogen bonds

Why does DNA replicate?

• To create another copy for the new cell
• To create a duplicate copy in case the original gets damaged
• To create a new copy to replace the damaged original

The process of DNA replication is called semi conservative because it results in

• none of these
• Two DNA molecules.  One original molecule and one with two new strands
• two exact copies with new strands
• two identical molecules, each with 1 original strand and one new.

What strand is copied faster?

• Leading
• Lagging
