dna replication ch.8 Flashcards
what is the first process in dna replication called
initiation
what is the first step in dna replication
pre-replication protein bonds to origin and separates adenine and thymine
what are the components of an origin of replication
rich area of adenine and thymine
A and T requires less energy
what is the second step in the first process of dna replication
helicase enzyme unwinds the 2 dna strands
S.S.B.P bonds to replication bubble
Topoisomerases unwind supercoils by cutting the supercoils in the dna caused by helicase
Ligase enzyme stiches the dna back up
what appears after the helicase enzyme unwinds the 2 dna strands
replication fork and replication bubble
what does the S.S.B.P bond do
prevents parental strands from reconnecting to each other and prevents from nucleases
what can happen to the parental strands when the helicase enzyme unwinds them
supercoils can form
what enzyme stitches the dna back up once the topoisomerases cut the supercoils
ligase
What is the 2nd process in dna replication
elongation of dna
which group is on the 3 prime end
OH
which group is on the 5 prime end
PO4
what is a Leading Strand and which side is it on
strand of DNA that moves forward to the replication fork leading strand is on the 3’ prime to 5’ prime end
what is a Lagging Strand and which side is it on
on 5’ prime to 3’ prime end and most likely contains Ozaki Fragments
what is the first step in the 2nd process of dna replication
primase enzyme lays rna primers so that the dna polymerase type 3 enzyme can build off of it
primase reads 3’ to 5’ prime end and dna polymerase type 3 synthesizes rna primers from 5’ prime to 3’ prime end
dna polymerase type 3 proofreads from 3’ to 5’ prime end
enzyme exonuclease cuts out incorrect nucleotide and puts correct nucleotide
DNA polymerase type 1 cuts out rna primers in 5’ to 3’ end by exonuclease
dna polymerase type 1 reads dna from 3’ to 5’ end and synthesizes 5’ to 3’ end and proofreads from 3’ to 5’ prime end with exonuclease
which direction does primase read
3’ prime end to 5’ prime end
which direction does dna polymerase type 3 synthesizes from
5’ prime to 3’ prime end
dna polymerase type 3 needs what of rna primer to continue activity
3’ prime OH end of rna primer
dna polymerase type 3 proofreads in which direction
it proofreads from 3’ to 5’ prime end
what can appear on lagging strand
okazaki fragments
what are okazaki fragments
mix of rna primers and dna stretches on 5’ prime end
what is the last process in dna replication called
termination
what is the last step in dna replication
dna polymerase moves toward each other at replication fork and stop — no longer performing function
what is the process of DNA to DNA called and what is the primary enzyme used to synthesize DNA
DNA replication and it uses enzyme DNA polymerase
