Q13. A new DNA strand elongates only in 5'- 3' direction because
DNA polymerase can add nucleotides only to the 3' free end. The free OH group at 3' end acts as a hook to which nucleotide is added during polymerization.
As u see the other options, they are incorrect.
A. DNA polymerase never adds nucleotides to 5' end
B. It is not correct. actually new nucleotide is added at the 3' end only
C. Replication fork is formed irrespective of the fact.
hence option D is correct
QUESTION 13 A new DNA strand elongates only in the to direction because A) DNA polymerase...
Why does a new DNA strand elongate only in the 5' to 3' direction during DNA replication? The polarity of the DNA molecule prevents addition of nucleotides at the 3' en Replication must progress toward the replication fork. DNA polymerase can add nucleotides only to the free 3' end. DNA polymerase begins adding nucleotides at the 5' end of the template,
How many replication forks depart from an origin of replication? one two three four five QUESTION 10 A new DNA strand elongates only in the 5 to 3 direction because DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the free 3'end. replication must progress toward the replication fork. the polarity of the DNA molecule prevents addition of nucleotides at the 3'end. Okazaki fragments prevent elongation in the 3 to 5 direction DNA polymerase begins adding nucleotides at the end of the...
1) The DNA template is read in the ______ direction, and the new strand is synthesized in the ____ direction. A) 5' to 3' ; 3' to 5' B) 5' to 3' ; 5' to 3' C) 3' to 5' ; 5' to 3' D) 3' to 5' ; 3' to 5' 2) If a sequence of DNA is 5' AATTGCCGT 3', the complementary strand would be A) 3' AAAACGCCA 5' B) 3' TTAACGGCT 5' C) 5' ACGGCAATT 3' D)...

The primary reason leading and lagging strand synthesis is different is because O DNA polymerase only adds new nucleotides to the 3’end of a nucleic acid O DNA polymerase only adds new nucleotides to the 5' end of a nucleic acid O RNA polymerase only adds new nucleotides to the 3' end of a nucleic acid O RNA polymerase only adds new nucleotides to the 5' end of a nucleic acid
The end replication problem arises because: a) DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides in one direction b) helicases cannot unwind the end of chromosomes because they are not AT rich sequences but TG rich c) The replisome holoenzyme isn’t properly recruited to the end of chromosomes d) Primers are made of RNA e) DNA polymerase needs a clamp to synthetize DNA until the end of chromosome and without this it falls off the end
1 pt 1 Question 1 Why must one strand of DNA be replicated in fragments? DNA polymerase can only add 20 nucleotides in a strand and then must start over ODNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the 3 hydroxyl of a growing strand O it would be too crowded for two DNA polymerases to be going in the same direction all of the above Question 2 1 pt the DNA would spin and possibly break while being opened in...
*Microbiology. Please answer the below two multiple choice
questions. The current selected answers are incorrect. Thank you,
will provide positive feedback for correct answers!
Incorrect Question 3 0/1 pts The replication fork has both leading (continuous) and lagging (discontinuous) synthesis because: a. The origin of replication only allows DNA synthesis to occur in one direction around the chromosome. b. Primase only works on the leading strand c. Helicase is slow in unwinding the double helix so the polymerization moving toward...
Please answer all
Question 1 (0.5 points) Why is there a lagging strand and a leading strand during replication? O Because the helicase unwinds the dna in only one direction. Because DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the 3'end of a chain of nucleotides and replication proceeds in both directions. b) c) Because a primer must be laid down first. because DNA polymerase lacks proofreading ability. Save Question 2 (0.5 points) What step(s) in polymerase chain reaction are necessary...
DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the 5' end of an existing strand to synthesize a new DNA strand synthesizes a short RNA segment to begin DNA replication seals nicks between adjacent segments of DNA unwinds the DNA double helix at the origin of replication adds nucleotides to the 3' end of an existing strand to synthesize a new DNA strand A ribosome consists of OrRNA and ribosomal proteins three subunits of different size two large subunits O RNA and ribosomal...
