Question
The diagram below shows a bacterial replication fork and its principal proteins. Drag the labels to their appropriate locations in the diagram to describe the name or function of each structure. Use pink labels for the pink targets and blue labels for the blue targets. View Available Hint(s) Reset Help Synthesizes RNA primers on leading and lagging strands. Replaces RNA primers with DNA Breaks hydrogen bonds, unwinding DNA double helix Coats single-stranded Synthesizes DNA 5 DNA, preventing duplex formation. o 3' on leading and Overall direction lagging strands. phosphodiester bond formation, joining DNA fragments DNA strand Leading strandExplanation / Answer
A) gyrase -breaks hydrogen bonds and unwinds the DNA double helix.
B) synthesizes RNA primers on leading and lagging strands
C) -places RNA primers with DNA nucleotides.
D) catalyses phosphodiesterase bond formation.
E) lagging strands - produces small segments of 1 to 10 nucleotides oligomers called as okazaki fragment.
F) Leading strand- it is continuous without any breaks.
G) Relaxes supercoiled DNA
H) Single strand binding proteins- coats single strand DNA and prevent duplex formation.
I) RNA polymerase( since it is a bacteria) - synthesizes DNA in 5' to 3' direction on leading and lagging strands.
