Question

The diagram below represents a replication bubble in a prokaryotic chromosome, the vertical line located in the center of the bubble represents the replication origin. Indicate which of the regions of template strands (A, B, C, and/or D) would support lagging strand synthesis. A and C B and D A and D B and C Which of the following best describes the function of DNA polymerase I? removing RNA and replacing it with dNTPs primary DNA replication enzyme in the polymerization of nucleotides I initiation of DNA synthesis removing a nucleotide that forms a mismatched base pair covalently joining two strands of newly synthesized DNA

Explanation / Answer

Ans 3. d (B and C), because In DNA replication the direction of lagging strand will be 3' to 5' and 5' to 3' for leading strand.

Ans 4. a, the function of DNA polymerase I is to removes RNA primer and replace with newely synthesize DNA or dNTPs at lagging strend.
