Assignment #10 (Chapters 16 & 17)

n an analysis of the nucleotide composition of DNA, which of the following will be found? A = C A + C = G + T G + C = T + A A = G and C = T

A + C = G + T (A and T have the same number of bases and so does C and G)

Eukaryotic telomeres replicate differently than the rest of the chromosome. This is a consequence of which of the following? -Gaps left at the 3' end of the lagging strand because of the need for a primer -Gaps left at the 5' end of the lagging strand because of the need for a 3' onto which nucleotides can attach -DNA polymerase that cannot replicate the leading strand template to its 5' end -The evolution of telomerase enzyme -The "no ends" of a circular chromosome

Gaps left at the 5' end of the lagging strand because of the need for a 3' onto which nucleotides can attach

What determines the nucleotide sequence of the newly synthesized strand during DNA replication? -the primase used in the reaction -the arrangement of histones in the sugar phosphate backbone -the particular DNA polymerase catalyzing the reaction -the nucleotide sequence of the template strand -the relative amounts of the four nucleoside triphosphates in the cell

the nucleotide sequence of the template strand
