6.1 & 6.2

Question 1

DNA Polymerase III

Answer 1

moves in the 5’ to 3’ direction; primary function is to synthesize the majority of new DNA strands during DNA replication, proofreading ability

Question 2

DNA Polymerase I

Answer 2

moving in the 5’ to 3’; removing the short RNA primer required for DNA synthesis during replication and filling in gaps in single-stranded DNA

Question 3

DNA LIgase

Answer 3

catalyzing the reaction of joining together okazaki fragments by establishing a new chemical bond

Question 4

Okazaki Fragment

Answer 4

short sections of DNA formed at the time of discontinuous synthesis of the lagging strand during replication of DNA

Question 5

RNA Primer

Answer 5

initiates DNA synthesis; part of RNA strand that attaches

Question 6

DNA Primase

Answer 6

creates short RNA primers that initiate DNA replication
