DNA ligase

On the lagging strand, the enzyme _________________ is necessary to bind the Okazaki fragments into one continuous strand.

DNA polymerase

Telomerase

DNA ligase

Helicase enzyme

If the DNA repair mechanisms fail to correct a defect in nucleotide sequencing, a permanent change known as a __________________ may result.

As the enzyme helicase opens and “unzips” the two strands of DNA by breaking the hydrogen bonds, a Y-shaped ________________________ forms.

Lagging strand

Leading strand

Okazaki fragment

Replication fork

One large difference between transcription and translation between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is that, in prokaryotes:

Translation occurs simultaneously with transcription

Translocation occurs after transcription

Both transcription and translation occur in the nucleus

Explanation / Answer

1. Guanine will only pair with cytosine by three hydrogen bonding.Guanine is a purine while cytosine is a pyrimidine.

2.thymine will only pair with adenine by two hydrogen bonding.adenine is a purine and thymine is a pyrimidine.

3.replaces thymine with uracil

4.nitrogenous bases which includes two purine (Adenine and guanine ) and two pyrimidine (Thymine and cytosine).According to chargaff's rule A=T and G=C.

5.deoxyribose, phosphate group and nitrogenous base.

7. ACCGTTC as complementary of T is A and G is C

8.shorter with age which brings aging.

9.DNA polymerase which adds up nucleotides.

10.Okazaki fragments which are discontinuous starnds form on lagging strand.
