Explanation / Answer

Que I

Ans:

The correct order of enzyme action during DNA replication is:

1. Binding to origin of replication ( AT rich sequence).

2. Helicase/ topoisomerase activity.

3. Single stranded binding proteins bind and prevent reannealing.

4. Synthesis of RNA primers (priming).

5. DNA polymerization/ proofreading.

6. 5'-3' exonuclease activity/ DNA polymerization.

7. Ligation.

Explanation:

- DNA replication begins at specific site termed as origin of replication, which has a specific sequence that can be recognized by initiator proteins called DnaA.

- Helicase is recruited to the site for unwinding the helices into single strand.

- Single strand binding proteins bind to the unwound region and prevent them for annealing.

- DNA primase synthesizes a short stretch of RNA onto the existing DNA strand.

- DNA polymerases add new nucleotides only to the 3' end of an existing strand.

- 5'-3' exonuclease activity remove RNA primer.

- Ligation.
