What is the criteria for genetic material 


DNA replication occurs in what phase of interphase 


Store information
• Replicate
• Express information
• Allow variation by mutation


The S phase 

100

DNA replication is based on a semi_____ fashion 

conservative 

100

DNA helicase job 

unwind the helix 

100

The place where replication starts is called the 


bacteria has ____ origin points 

eukaryotes have _______ points of origin 

origin or origin of replication 


one

multiple

100

What is the purpose of Single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSB) 

keep the helix open so replication can occur.


wraps single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) with high affinity to protect it from degradation and prevent secondary structure formation.  

200

What are the requirements for DNA replication 

1.  A template consisting of single stranded DNA
2.  Raw materials to be assembled into a new
nucleotide strand
3.  Proteins that read the template and assemble
the substrates into a DNA strand

200

uracil 

200

What is the purpose of DNA topoisomerase 

enzymes that cleave the
phosphodiester bonds so the helix can swing
around as it unwinds. 


regulate DNA supercoiling by catalysing the winding and unwinding of DNA strands.

200

The origin of replication for E.coli is 

Replication is ____ from each origin 

ori C

bidirectional 

200

DNA polymerase can only add from the ___ prime to ___ prime end of DNA which is what strand 

5-3

leading strand 

300

What are the Four Stages of Replication in Prokaryotes


  Define replicon

1) Initiation•  Origin of Replication
•  RNA Primer
2) Unwinding• Helicase,
• Topoisomerase
3) Elongation• DNA Polymerase III
4) Termination• DNA Polymerase I
• DNA Ligase

 the entire region of DNA that is independently replicated from a single origin of replication. A bacterial chromosome contains a single origin, and therefore the whole bacterial chromosome is a replicon.

300


cytosine


300

What is the difference between Topoisomerase I and 2 , which requires ATP . DNA gyrase is a ___

 allows transient
breaks in one strand of the helix
to relieve supercoiling.  It does
not require ATP 


DNA gyrase is a
Topoisomerase II it breaks
both strands of the helix to
relieve supercoiling.  It does
require ATP

300

DNA polymerase III is a____enzyme. What does it mean 

holoenzyme 


= multimeric enzyme with many subunits
• 5’ to 3’ polymerase activity
• 3’ to 5’ exonuclease activity 

Exonucleases can act as proofreaders during DNA polymerisation in DNA replication, to remove unusual DNA structures that arise from problems with DNA replication fork progression, and they can be directly involved in repairing damaged DNA.

300

Since DNA polymerase only works from the 5-3 prime, which strand is often coined_______ because it runs from the 5-3 prime and elongates the DNA through Okazaki fragments 

lagging strand 

400
What are the ingredients(haha) to make a DNA 

5 carbon sugar molecule 

phosphate group 

nitrogen base 

400


Thymine

400

DNA helicase works by breaking the ____ ____


The point where the  splitting starts is the 

hydrogen bond

replication fork 

400

Chaining Nucleotides Together Into New DNA
Strands is what step of the DNA replication process

elongation

400

DNA polymerase ____ removes RNA primers and replaces it with DNA 


what enzyme Joins Okazaki fragments by sealing breaks in the sugar–
phosphate backbone of newly synthesized DNA 

1


DNA ligase 

500

DNA replicates from - what were the different theories of DNA replication and which one gave 1/2 old and 1/2 new 

5 to 3 prime 


semi conservative 1/2 old and new \

Conservative

Dispersive-1/2 old and new 


  • Semi conservative - two molecules half old and half new 

  • Conservative - original and you keep ot intact and cell looks at the original and created the exact same thing but new

  • Dispersive - tak original, blow it up into random pieces, build new with random piece, random mixture of old and new - about ½ old and ½ new

  • Experiment show that molecules were half old and half new 

500

The difference between adenine and guanine is what?

NH2 and carbonyl group on guanine

500

Purpose of DNA polymerase

There are 5 types of DNA polymerase, which is the one that elongates and is important to know for this class especially!


Before DNA polymerase can begin working it needs a what is this called

replicates and adds base pair to the unwound strand and proof reads it.

primer -RNA primase 

500

• DNA polymerase II, IV, V function 

DNA repair

DNA polymerase requires a ____ to begin adding onto the DNA, where can the DNA polymerase find this ?

3OH

rna primer.. DNA primase created this RNA primer
