De Girolamo 3 Flashcards
How many ozakzaki fragments?
3
What does the 1st Okazaki fragment do?
Made in the opposite direction of lagging strand
How is the 2 O fragment made?
Leading strand elongates and the 2nd is made
4 major stages of DNA rep?
1-initiation and unwinding
2-primer synthesis
3-elongation
4-termination
How much does mis pairing occur?
1 in 10 to the power of 8
High replication accuracy arises because…?
1-cell maintain balanced leeks of dNTPs reducing chances of mis incorporation
2-DNA polymerase detects and terminates the errors
Point mutation?
1 base replaces the other
2 types of point mutations?
Transitions—>purine replaces purine
Transversions–>purine replaces pyrimidine
What’s the Mismatch repair system?
System that corrects errors which are missed by DNA polymerase
Process of mismatch repair?
Endonucleass exercises mismatch
DNA pol 2/3 fills in gap
DNA ligase resells strand
What’s ner?
Nucleotide excision repair
How is overall 3-5’ DNA chain growth achieved?
Both strands polymerised 5’-3’ direction
Synthesised as one continuous molecule
