• Exonuclease

Which enzyme seals okazaki fragments together on the lagging strand?

• Topoisomerase
• Helicase
• Polymerase
• Ligase

What do we call DNA replication since new DNA has 1 parent strand and 1 new strand?

• Conservative 
• Semiconservative 
• Dispersive

Why is it crucial that living things are able to replicate their DNA?

• Each cell must have its own DNA
• Less copies of DNA are needed when a new cell is created
• A cell needs multiple copies of DNA
• Only muscle cells need DNA 

Which enzyme is responsible for adding nucleotides?

• Topoisomerase
• DNA Polymerase
• Ligase
• Primase

The separation of the two single strands of DNA creates a ‘Y’ shape?

• enzyme

• unzip

• A replication fork

• Initiation unit

Polymerase is able to replicate the new DNA ______ along the leading strand.

• continuously
• only in short fragments
• very slowly
• prokaryotically

Which enzyme is responsible for adding the RNA primer to the template strand?

• Helicase

• DNA Polymerase

• Ligase

• Primase

At what point in the cell cycle does DNA replication occur and why?

• before a cell divides, to provide each of the two resulting cells with a complete set of DNA instructions
• before a cell divides, to ensure that the DNA will fit into the resulting cells
• during cell division, to ensure that the DNA will fit into the resulting cells
• after a cell divides, to provide each of the two resulting cells with a complete set of DNA instructions 

Which choice describes DNA after replication has taken place?

• one molecule with two original strands and one molecule with two new strands
• two molecules, each with one original and one new strand
• two molecules, each with two new strands
•  two molecules, each with two old strands
