Sketch a replication fork of bacterial DNA in which one strand is being replicated discontinuously and the other is being replic

ated continuously. List six different enzyme activities associated with the replication process, identify the function of each activity, and show where each would be located on the replication fork. In addition, identify the following features on your sketch: DNA template, RNA primer, Okazaki fragments, and single-stranded DNA binding protein.

Answer:

DNA Helicase is the enzyme that unwinds the double-stranded DNA into two single strands forming a replication fork.

DNA topoisomerase II or Gyrase is the enzyme responsible for relieving or relaxing the topological stress caused by the unwinding of DNA double strands.

DNA polymerase III is the primary replication enzyme. It is responsible for adding deoxyribonucleotides to the RNA primer both in the continuous or leading strand synthesis as well as in the discontinuous or lagging strand synthesis of DNA.

Primase is the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of the RNA primer (a short segment of RNA) to which deoxyribonucleotides are added.

DNA polymerase I is responsible removing and replacing the RNA primers with DNA in the newly DNA strands.

DNA Ligase is the enzyme responsible for sealing the gaps in the DNA due to broken phosphodiester bonds after the removal of the RNA primer.

Explanation:

The sketch of the replication fork of bacterial DNA showing where one strand is being replicated discontinuously and the other is being replicated continuously, as well as the different enzymes involved and their location of activity is found in the attachment below.

DNA replication occurs in the 5' to 3' direction by DNinA polymerases.

Continous DNA replication occurs in same direction as the direction as the replication fork, in the 5' to 3' direction.

The discontinuous replication occurs in fragments of DNA known as Okazaki fragments which are then ligated by DNA ligase.

Each orientation of chromosomes produces gametes with the same genetic information from each parent.
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer: a) true

Explanation:

The goal of mitosis is to produce daughter cells that are genetically identical to the mother cell, without a single extra or missing chromosome. Meiosis, on the other hand, is only used for one purpose in the human body: the production of gametes or sex cells, i.e. sperm and eggs. The question is oriented to mitosis, <u>in which prior to this cell division, the cell duplicates its DNA</u> so that each daughter cell then inherits the genetic material. That is, the cell originally possesses 23 chromosomes, they duplicate to a total of 46 so that then each daughter cell receives 23.

The metaphase is the second phase of mitosis and meiosis that occurs after prophase where the envelope is lost and microtubules of the achromatic spindle (also called meiotic or mitotic) appear.

During metaphase, the chromosomes align themselves in the middle of the cell and this balanced midline spindle alignment is due to the equal and opposing forces generated by the kinetochore brothers.

Then during metaphase, the chromosomes will line up in the center of the cell to be separated and go each to a different daughter cell. But the moment they're found there, each orientation of chromosomes produces gametes with the same genetic information from each parent. <u>Because because there have been no changes or mutations in the chromosomes, they have duplicated and have the same genetic information.</u>

Over time the cartilage in your body is replaced by solid bone and is usually complete by the time you stop growing.

True. Otherwise we would never stop growing although broken bones regain cartilage into solid bone when we break one but it doesn’t expand.
