Basics
binds to lagging-strand template and breaks H-bonds between bases of DNA strands, unwinding DNA
Which type of replication requires a break in the nucleotide strand to get started?
a. Theta replication
b. Rolling-circle replication
c. Linear eukaryotic replication
d. All of the above
Replication in which the two nucleotide strands of DNA separate, each serving as a template for the synthesis of a new strand
reduces the torsional strain (torque) that builds ahead of replication fork as a result of the unwinding
Three major requirements of replication include which of the following:
A. A template of a double-stranded DNA
B. Nucleotide substrates or "raw materials"
C. Enzymes and other proteins
D. Both A and B
E. Both B and C
discontinuously synthesized short DNA fragments
removes RNA primers laid down by primase and replaces them with DNA
Gene conversion arises through heteroduplex formation
A. True
B. False
