What would happen to DNA replication in DNA polymerase lost its 3' to 5' exonuclease activity?
- Multiple Choice
Which of the following proteins is responsible for synthesizing RNA primers?
- Open QuestionWhat observations reveal that a 'telomere problem' exists during eukaryotic DNA replication, and how did we learn of the solution to this problem?
- Open QuestionIn this chapter, we focused on how DNA is replicated and synthesized. We also discussed recombination at the DNA level. Along the way, we encountered many opportunities to consider how this information was acquired. On the basis of these discussions, what answers would you propose to the following fundamental questions?How do we know that DNA synthesis is discontinuous on one of the two template strands?

Along the way, we encountered many opportunities to consider how this information was acquired. On the basis of these discussions, what answers would you propose to the following fundamental questions?How do we know that in vivo DNA synthesis occurs in the 5' to 3' direction?

Along the way, we encountered many opportunities to consider how this information was acquired. On the basis of these discussions, what answers would you propose to the following fundamental questions?How was it demonstrated that DNA synthesis occurs under the direction of DNA polymerase III and not polymerase I?
