Replication Unit for NW 04-350

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Term
Definition
show hypothetical explanation of how replication might occur. supposes that the original double stranded molecule will remain fully intact after replication is complete and the new double stranded molecule will be entirely composed of new material  
🗑
dispersive model   show
🗑
show hypothetical explanation of how replication might occur. supposes that each strand of the original double stranded molecule remain intact but after replication one strand is paired with one entirely new strand. this hypothesis is supported by data.  
🗑
density gradient centrifugation   show
🗑
light nitrogen   show
🗑
show an isotope of nitrogen (N15) with an extra neutron and therefore more mass than light nitrogen  
🗑
origin   show
🗑
show Y shaped structure where the two strands of DNA have separated to serve as templates for replication. each origin will generate two replication forks  
🗑
DNA polymerase   show
🗑
show the prokaryotic form of DNA polymerase that is responsible for synthesizing the majority of the DNA during replication. has higher affinity than other polymerases.  
🗑
show the more abundant form of DNA polymerase in prokaryotes. has less affinity but can synthesize DNA. can also act as exonuclease in 5' to 3' direction which allows it to remove RNA primers  
🗑
show the ability of a polymerase to bind to a nucleic acid template and begin synthesizing a complementary strand without anything in place prior to that synthesis. RNA polymerase can do this. DNA polymerases can't  
🗑
single stranded binding proteins (SSB)   show
🗑
helicase   show
🗑
show enzyme that moves in front of the helicase, reducing torsional strain on the DNA molecule created when unwinding occurs  
🗑
show enzyme that synthesizes a small segment of RNA to serve as a primer for initiation of replication.  
🗑
show needed to provide a 3' OH that DNA polymerases can attach dNTP to when initiating replication. needed because of DNA polymerases inability to carry out de novo synthesis  
🗑
show strand of new DNA being synthesized in the same direction that the helicase is moving. uninterrupted continuous synthesis until the end is reached  
🗑
show strand of new DNA being synthesized in the opposite direction that the helicase is moving. goes through periodic starts and stops as new template is exposed behind it  
🗑
Okazaki fragments   show
🗑
nick   show
🗑
5' to 3' exonuclease   show
🗑
3' to 5' exonuclease   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
