Q

What is a replication bubble

A

A seperated segment of DNA where replication originates

24
Q

Helicase unwinds the DNA by:

A

breaking hydrogen bonds

25
Q

After the DNA is unzipped by DNA helicase, what happens next?

A

SSBPs stabilize DNA strands so they don’t anneal

26
Q

What is the name of the enzyme that relieves the stress on the DNA during unwinding?

A

Topoisomerase

27
Q

What enzymes adds nucleotides to build a new strand of DNA?

A

DNA polymerase III

28
Q

What is required before DNA polymerase can add new nucleotides to build the new strand?

A

RNA primer

29
Q

What end of the DNA strand does DNA Polymerase add nucleotides to?

A

3’

30
Q

how many primers are required for each leading strand?

A

1

31
Q

Which strand of DNA is built discontinuously?

A

lagging

32
Q

tRUE/FALSE: The overall direction of DNA replication in the lagging strand is opposite that of the leading strand

A

false

33
Q

The overall direction of DNA replication is:

A

away from the origin of replication

34
Q

Why is the lagging strand built up in a discontinous fashion?

A

DNA synthesis is in the 5’ to 3’ direction (adding nuceotides to 3’ end)

35
Q

What are the fragments on the lagging strand called?

A

okazaki

36
Q

What is the enzyme that removes and replaces the RNA primers with DNA nucleotides called?

A

DNA polymerase I

37
Q

What is the enzyme that forms the phosphodiester bonds between DNA fragments called?

A

Ligase

38
Q

What occurs in the termination phase of DNA replication?

A

DNA strands rewind

39
Q

What enzyme is responsible for the proofreading of DNA during replication?

A

polymerase

40
Q

When does DNA polymerase perform its proofreading function on mispaired nucleotides?

A

before adding the next nucleotide in the chain

41
Q

DNA polymerase “proofreads” each new DNA strand. Why would DNA need “proofreading?”

A

The new strand needs to be a perfect copy.

42
Q

An unfixed mistake made during DNA replication is called:

A

Mutation

43
Q

How does DNA polymerase recognize mismatched base pairs?

A

3’ OH- of mismatched base incorrectly positioned for DNA polymerase

44
Q

Strand slippage causes:

A

addition or deletion of bases

45
Q

What is the function of an exonuclease?

A

To correct mistakes made by DNA polymerase in replication

46
Q

How does DNA replication differ in Prokaryotes vs Eukaryotes?

A
  • Prokaryotes have one origin of replication and Eukaryotes have many
  • Number/types of DNA polymerase
  • Only Eukaryotes have telomeres
47
Q

What are telomeres?

A

a repeating sequence of DNA at the end of a chromosome.

48
Q

What is a function of telomeres?

A

protect the genes on our DNA during replication

49
Q

Why is an RNA primer necessary in DNA replication?

A

Provides a 3’ end that DNA polymerase can add nucleotides to

50
Q

Why is DNA shorter after replication?

A

RNA primer is bound to the 5’ end of the strand.

51
Q

Which enzyme prevents the loss of telomeres during DNA replication?

A

Telomerase

52
Q

What is cell senescence?

A

when a cell can no longer divide

53
Q

Why are telomeres considered a biological clock?

A

Cell division stops after telomeres substantially degrade

54
Q

Hayflick’s limit is…

A

the number of times a normal cell can divide before cell division stops

55
Q

Cancer cells have more telomerase than non cancerous cells.
