Question 4 (2 points): Which of the following statements is NOT TRUE about genomic DNA replication? A. DNA replication is semi-conservative. B. DNA replication begins at the origin of replication and proceeds bi-directionally. C. Synthesis of new DNA is catalyzed by DNA polymerase enzymes. D. Synthesis of a new DNA strand can occur only in the 3'->5' direction. E. DNA replication proceeds continuously on one strand of DNA and discontinuously (in fragments) on the other complementary strand of DNA.

Bacterial DNA replication terminates when the two growing forks meet in the terminus region, which is located 180° around the circular chromosome from the origin. There are three models of DNA replication. Which of the following is not a model? - semiconservative replication - conservative replication - progressive replication - dispersive replication - none of the above If Meselson and Stahl had results from density gradient analysis of bacterial DNA that indicated only two bands, one of the original density and one that was the same as unlabeled DNA, and no intermediate density band, this would indicate that DNA replication is: - semiconservative - conservative - dispersive - progressive - cannot determine from the information given A region called a replication bubble, which contains newly synthesized DNA, grows as DNA synthesis continues. At a growing replication fork, the replication of the two strands is: - continuous for both strands as DNA synthesis moves 5' to 3' and 3' to 5'. - discontinuous for both strands due to low processivity of the DNA polymerase. - continuous for the leading strand and discontinuous for the lagging strand. - continuous for the lagging strand and discontinuous for the leading strand. - uncoupled and independent of each other.

The process of DNA replication can be described as: Select one: a. Semiconservative and bilateral b. Semiconservative and unilateral c. Conservative and bilateral d. Conservative and unilateral e. Semiconservative and dispersive True or False. During replication the DNA strand that undergoes continuous replication is longer than the strand that undergoes discontinuous replication. Select one: a. FALSE, the strand that undergoes discontinuous replication is longer b. TRUE c. FALSE, the continuous strand does not undergo replication d. We don't know enough about replication to determine this e. FALSE, the strands are the same length
