Why does DNA need to be coiled? Choose ALL that apply DNA coiling allows DNA to be wrapped tight enough during certain times of the cell cycle in order to enable to movement of the chromosomes to a new cell Coiling allows DNA to be organized in a way that allows for efficient access to genes (for gene expression) DNA supercoils to allow for paracrine signaling between cells DNA coiling allows for the smooth ER to more efficiently make proteins DNA coiling allows the DNA to fit into the cell (and the nucleus)

Why is DNA ligase important for a cell? Select all that apply. Group of answer choices It joins Okazaki fragments on the discontinuous lagging strand. It unwinds DNA. It relieves the stress of DNA unwinding. It joins DNA together from different origins of replication. It fills in the 10 nucleotide gap where the RNA primer was removed.

Why does DNA have a leading strand and a lagging strand during replication? Select the correct row below that fills in the following blanks to answer the question above. The 1st has to attach the new free-floating nucleotides to the 3' end of the newly formed strand. The two strands of a DNA molecule are antiparallel, so in order for the lagging strand to be formed in the same direction, it has to be done in Okazaki fragments going in a 5' to 3' direction. Select one: a. 1st 2nd 3rd DNA polymerase 3' end 5' to 3' b. 1st 2nd 3rd DNA polymerase 5' end 3' to 5' c. 1st 2nd 3rd DNA ligase 3' end 5' to 3' d. 1st 2nd 3rd DNA helicase 5' end 3' to 5
