B12-DNA Replication
DNA UNIT
| Q | A |
|---|---|
| Gyrase | relieves tension of the unwinding of the double helix(prokaryotes) |
| Helicase | breaks the H bonds of complimentary strands |
| Primases | make the RNA primer(approximately 10 nucleotides long in eurkaryotes) |
| DNA Polymerases | Add DNA nucleotides to new strands |
| Ligases | attach okazaki fragments on the lagging strand |
| DNA replication energy source | ATP/GTP |
| List the process of synthesising the Leading strand: | Primase creates the primer, Elongation by DNA Polymerase 3, Replacement of RNA primer with DNA by DNA Polymerase 1, Replication towards the fork |
| List the process of synthesising the Lagging strand: | Priming for okazaki fragments by primase, elongation of fragment by DNA Polymerase 3, replacement of RNA primer with DNA by DNA Polymerase 1, joining of fragments by ligase, replication away from fork |
| Which DNA polymerase proofreed? | 1 and 2 |
| What happens with damaged DNA? | DNA nuclease cuts out the damaged segment, DNA polymerase and ligase attach new nucleotide |
