The portion of the molecule in box 5 of Figure 12-1 is: • a hydrogen bond. • a pyrimidine. • a nucleotide • a phosphate.
The final product of DNA replication is: • DNA fragments. • mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA molecules. • two DNA molecules, each of which contains one new and one old DNA strand. • the enzymes needed for further processes, such as DNA polymerase
Which of the following cause the unwinding of the DNA double helix? • Primosome • DNA helicase • RNA primer • RNA polymerase • DNA polymerase
A replication fork: • is a site where one DNA strand serves as a template, but the other strand is not replicated. • is created by the action of the enzyme RNA polymerase. • is only seen in prokaryotic chromosomes. • is a Y-shaped structure where both DNA strands are replicated simultaneously.
Which of the following adds new nucleotides to a growing DNA chain? • DNA polymerase • Primase • RNA polymerase • DNA helicase • RNA primer
Why does DNA synthesis only proceed in the 5' to 3' direction? • Because that is the direction in which the two strands of DNA unzip. • Because that is the only direction that the polymerase can be oriented. • Because the chromosomes are always aligned in the 5'to 3'direction in the nucleus. • Because the 3'end of the polynucleotide molecule is more electronegative than the 5'end. • Because DNA polymerases can only add nucleotides to the 3'end of a polynucleotide strand.
The 5' end of each Okazaki fragment begins with: • a DNA primer binding to the template DNA. • a separate RNA primer. • the same RNA primer that began synthesis on the leading strand. • a small DNA primer. • DNA polymerase binding to the template DNA.
The DNA strand that is replicated smoothly and continuously is called the: • primary strand. • first strand. • leading strand. • alpha strand. • lagging strand
Okazaki fragments are joined together by: • DNA polymerase. • DNA ligase • RNA ligase. • primase. • RNA polymerase.

The nitrogen bases of the DNA molecule are held together by these • Covalent bonds • Phosphodiester bonds • Hydrogen bonds • Glue

Which of the following features is common to both DNA replication and transcription? • Nucleotides are added to the 3' end of the newly synthesized strand • Deoxyribonucleotidesare incorporated into the growing sequence • Both RNA and DNA polymerase require oligonucleotide priming • Both RNA and DNA polymerase initiate at promoter sequences
