Which of the following is true for DNA replication? Both DNA strands serve as templates to make new DNA during DNA replication Only 3' to 5' DNA strand serves as template during DNA replication RNA polymerase is not involved DNA replication Primase makes RNA primer during DNA replication, it is one type of RNA polymerase Energy required by DNA replication is from dNTP

Which of the following is true regarding DNA replication? Ligase synthesizes most of the DNA and then joins the Okazaki fragments together. DNA polymerase III reads the template strand and makes new DNA by adding to the 3' end of the growing strand. RNA polymerase makes new DNA from a DNA template. DNA polymerase I reads the template strand and makes new DNA by adding to the 5' end of the growing strand.

Which of the following statements in NOT true about DNA replication? DNA replication involves synthesis of multiple RNA primers. DNA ligase is needed for successful DNA replication. DNA replication requires deoxyribonucleotide triphosphates. High fidelity of DNA replication is ensured by 5'-3' exonuclease activity of DNA polymerase I. High fidelity of DNA replication is ensured by 3'-5' exonuclease activity of DNA polymerases.
