Question: Which two statements are true for the leading strand in DNA?
It is synthesized toward the replication fork.
It is synthesized in the 3′ to 5′ direction.
It is synthesized away from the replication fork.
It is synthesized in the 5′ to 3′ direction.
Answer:
The two statements that are true for the leading strand in DNA are "it is synthesized toward the replication fork and it is synthesized in the 5′ to 3′ direction"
Explanation:
Leading strand in DNA is the strand of new DNA being synthesized in the same direction where the replication fork is moving. The movement of replication fork allows the access of template for the new DNA. The DNA synthesis is continuous in the leading strand. It is synthesized in the 5' to 3' as DNA synthesis always takes place in this direction. This is because dNTP ( deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate) provides free 3' OH group where new dNTP can be added by the enzyme DNA polymerase.
Answer:
DNA → TACCATGGAATTACT
RNA → AUGGUACCUUAAUGA
PROTEIN → Methionine-Valine-Proline-Stop codon-Stop codon (AUG GUA CCU UAA UGA)
Explanation:
In nucleic acids (i.e., DNA and RNA), base complementarity refers to the interaction between antiparallel strands. In the double helix DNA molecule, adenine always interacts with thymine (uracil in RNA), while cytosine always interacts with guanine. Moreover, amino acids are encoded by codons, i.e., triplets of nucleotides in the messenger RNA (mRNA). Finally, stop codons are triplets of mRNA nucleotides (e.g., UAG, UAA, UGA) that indicates the end of the protein-coding sequence.
