Which of the following features is common to both DNA replication and transcription: A) The polymerase moves in a 5' to 3' direction. B) Both RNA and DNA polymerases require oligonucleotide priming. C) Deoxyribonucleotides are incorporated into the growing sequence. D) Nucleotides are added to the 5' end of the newly synthesized strand. E) A sugar-phosphate bond is formed between the 3' hydroxyl and the 5' phosphate.

Step 1
DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase synthesize the new strand in the 5' to 3' direction. B) Both RNA and DNA polymerases require oligonucleotide priming: This is not true for both processes. DNA polymerase requires a primer, but RNA polymerase does not. C) Show more…

DNA replication occurs only in the 5' to 3 direction, meaning DNA polymerase can only add new nucleotides to the 3' end of the growing molecule. What forms as a direct result of the directionality of DNA replication? A) Mutations on the lagging strand B) Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand C) Continuous replication on the lagging strand D) Excess hydrogen bonding on the leading strand

Which of the following is true for DNA replication? Select all that apply. A.) RNA polymerase is not involved DNA replication B.) Energy required by DNA replication is from dNTP. C.) Both DNA strands serve as templates to make new DNA during DNA replication D.) Primase makes RNA primer during DNA replication, it is one type of RNA polymerase E.) Only 3’ to 5’ DNA strand serves as template during DNA replication
Joanna Q.
Transcription is similar to DNA replication in that____. Group of answer choices A. it requires a molecule of DNA helicase to unwind the DNA. B. it uses the same enzyme as that used to synthesize RNA primers during DNA replication. C. the newly synthesized RNA remains paired to the template DNA D. nucleotide polymerization occurs in the 5' -to-3' direction
