What is the function of the enzyme primase during DNA replication?

to add an RNA primer to enable replication of DNA

The short DNA segments formed on the discontinuously replicated strand are called

Okazaki fragments

True or False:
After DNA polymerase synthesizes new segments of DNA and the RNA primers are removed, an enzyme called RNA polymerase joins together the newly synthesized segments of DNA on the lagging strand.

False

True or False:
DNA replication results in two identical daughter molecules each consisting of one old (original) strand and one newly synthesized strand

True

True or False:
The point where separation of the DNA occurs is called the replication fork.

True

What order represents how the components of a DNA nucleotide are connected?

phosphate-sugar-base

What is a characteristic of double-stranded DNA?

-2 nanometers in length
-10 base pairs per turn
-0.34 nanometers per base per
-2 nanometers in width and 10 base pairs per turn
(all of these are correct)

What DNA molecule would be the most stable?

GCGTGCAC
CGCACGTG

True or False:
Double-stranded DNA consists of two antiparallel strands, meaning that one strand is oriented in the 5´ to 3´ direction, while the other is oriented in the 3´ to 5´ direction.

True

True or False: Asymmetrical spacing of the backbones of the DNA double helix generates major and minor grooves

True

The addition of what key component to an endonuclease gene drive could cause a gene preventing transmission of malaria to not only be inserted into a mosquito and passed on to its offspring but also to be passed on to all future descendants of the offspring?

CRISPR

After a tautomeric shift in adenine,

adenine bonds with cytosine.

A mutation that causes a change in a single nucleotide in DNA

changes the corresponding nucleotide in mRNA, resulting in a different codon.

In a tautomeric shift

hydrogen atoms move to form a base with altered hydrogen bonding properties

True or False:
A mutation that changes a single nucleotide can result in a different amino acid being added into a protein.

True

True or False:
DNA mutations are passed on to daughter cells produced by mitosis.

True

What is the characteristic of A double stranded DNA?

Double-stranded DNA consists of two polynucleotide chains whose nitrogenous bases are connected by hydrogen bonds. Within this arrangement, each strand mirrors the other as a result of the anti-parallel orientation of the sugar-phosphate backbones, as well as the complementary nature of the A-T and C-G base pairing.

Which of the following is characteristic of a DNA double helix?

The double helix of DNA has these features: It contains two polynucleotide strands wound around each other. The backbone of each consists of alternating deoxyribose and phosphate groups. The phosphate group bonded to the 5' carbon atom of one deoxyribose is covalently bonded to the 3' carbon of the next.

Which of the following best describes DNA double stranded structure?

Answer and Explanation: The secondary structure of DNA is best described as A) double antiparallel helical strands. The structure of DNA is a double helix, two parallel strands that are joined in the middle and twist around each other.

Why is DNA double stranded quizlet?

Because each nucleotide has a unique complimentary nucleotide, each strand contains all the information required to synthesize a new DNA molecule. -The double stranded structure also makes the molecule more stable.
