11. In this diagram of DNA replication, identify the following items. Identify the terms on the fork. Leading strand Lagging strands Okazaki fragment DNA pol III DNA pol I DNA ligase Helicase RNA primer Primase Single-strand binding proteins 5' end of parental DNA 3' end of parental DN Draw an arrow on the figure indicating the overall direction of replication. Be sure the ink doesn't fade.

The diagram below represents a DNA replication fork in a living cell: Direction of movement of replication fork "Parental" DNA A. Add the two new DNA strands being synthesized to the diagram, clearly showing which strand is polymerized continuously and which is made discontinuously. Use arrow heads to indicate the direction of synthesis. B. Label the 5' and 3' ends of the new DNA strands. C. Label the leading and lagging strands of the replication fork. D. What enzymatic activity is required to separate the two parental DNA strands?

DNA Replication. Sketch a replication fork of bacterial DNA in which one strand is being replicated discontinuously and the other is being replicated continuously. List six different enzyme activities associated with the replication process, identify the function of each activity, and show where each would be located on the replication fork. In addition, identify the following features on your sketch: DNA template, RNA primer, Okazaki fragments, and single-stranded DNA binding protein.

Describe the double helix of DNA and the process of DNA replication. Complete the base sequence in a complementary DNA segment if a portion of the parent strand has each of the following base sequences: a. $-$ A $A$ A $A A A-$ b. $-$ GGGGGG$-$ c. $-$ A G T C C A G G T - d. $-$ C T G T A T A CG T T A -
