8. What is the difference in DNA replication between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
9. You need to separate the two strands of DNA before you can replicate the DNA. What are the three enzymes needed (name and function)?
10. Once the two strands are separated, you will need primase, DNA polymerase and ligase to make the new DNA strands. What are the functions of these enzymes?
11. What are some features of DNA polymerase?
12. What are leading strands, lagging strands, Okazaki fragments?
13. Draw or explain the process of DNA replication.
Remember the orientation of each end (3 end, 5 end)
14. When it comes to replicating the end of each
chromosomes, there are always a small portion that
can't be replicated as there is no upstream position to
place a primer. This is called gene erosion. So we
need to protect the ends of each chromosomes. What
is at the end of each chromosome? What is the
relationship between the length of this structure and
human health (cancer, aging etc)
15. What is the problem in Dolly, the first cloned animal?
16. What is neucleosome?
17. What are Heterochromatin and Euchromatin?
Relationship to gene expression?
