5. The following is a section of a replication bubble that just had the RNA primer (shown in gray) added. a. What will be the next nucleotide added? and b. What enzyme will catalyze that reaction? 5'-ATC CGG TAC GTT AGC ACG TCA CGT AAT ATG TCA-3? (DNA template) 3' A UCG UGC AGU GCA UU 5' (RNA primer)

Q4.8. The figure below shows a snippet of DNA in the process of being replicated. The RNA primer is shown as red while DNA is black. What will happen next? (Hint: Recall the order in which you used enzymes in the DNA replication simulation in Section 2.) Ligase will seal the nick in the bottom strand. DNA polymerase I will replace the primer with DNA. Helicase will separate the strands. DNA polymerase III will extend the primer.

5) The following sequence of bases is present along one chain of a DNA double-helix that has opened up at a replication fork, and synthesis of an RNA primer on this template begins by copying the base in bold. 3' - ... TCT GAT ATC AGT ACG ... - 5' a) If the RNA primer consists of 8 nucleotides, what is its base sequence? b) In the intact RNA primer, which nucleotide has a free hydroxyl (-OH) terminus and what is the chemical group on the nucleotide at the other end of the primer? c) If replication of the other strand of the original DNA double-helix proceeds continuously (with few or no intervening RNA primers), is the replication fork more likely to move in a left-to-right or a right-to-left direction? d) Based on your answer to c), where would helicase be most likely located? e) Which strand would ligase be closer to, the one listed above or its complementary strand? Explain why.
