Q

which proposal of how dna copied is correct

A

Semi conservative
-Each new molecule of DNA would contain one strand of yje original complementary strand and one new parent strand

Q

What was menelson and stahl experiment

A

they identified between parent and daughter dna strand when its copied
parent nucleotide is heavy nitrogen
new nucleotide is light nitrogen
they centrifuged it to see where the position of the dna is

Q

how does topoisomerase relieves tension

A

relieves tension by working ahead of helicase by cutting the sugar phosphate backbone

Q

how does helicase unwind dna

A

it breaks the hydrogen bonds between complementary base pairs
as it unwinds it forms the replication fork

13
Q

how is a dna strand built

14
Q

what is a leading strand

A

continuous synthesis in the direction of the replication for because dna nucleotides is built from the 5’

15
Q

what is a lagging strand

A

Dna strand that is built discontinuously because DNA nucleotides can’t be built from the 3’ so it is built in short segments

16
Q

what are the short segments of dna in a lagging strand called

A

okazaki fragmenta

17
Q

what does Primase do

A

since dna poly 3 can’t make new dna from scratch RNA primer is used as a starter sequence so that dna poly 3 can add new nucleotides to the 3’

18
Q

primase is in the form of

A

RNA (a,u,g,c)

19
Q

what does dna polymerase 1 do

A

removes section of rna primer and replace it with dna nucleotides

20
Q

what does dna polymerase 2 do

A

it edit,repair and proof read dna
it repair mismatched based
can remove abnormal bases

21
Q

what joins dna segments together

22
what is chromosome erosion
loss of bass at the 5’ of every replication chromosomes get shorter every replication limit to a number of replication
23
what is telomeres
repeating non coding sequences at the end of chromosomes = protective cap
24
how does telomere extend chromosome
restores cell division
25
can telomeres add bases at the 5’
YES
26
where are telomeres high in
stem cells and cancer cells
