Chapter 12 Quiz 2

DNA replication results in two DNA molecules,

During DNA replication, a DNA strand that has the bases CTAGGT produces a strand with the bases

In Figure 12–5, what is adding base pairs to the strand?

In Figure 12–5, what nucleotide is going to be added at point 1, opposite from thymine?

In eukaryotes, DNA

In both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, how many copies of the chromosome are left after replication?

Which would be greater in a eukaryote than in a prokaryote?

In which cells is the accurate transmission of information most important?

Figure 12–2 shows the structure of

Which of the following is believed to be a key cause of immortalization of cancer cells in many tumours?

The replication of a DNA molecule results in four copies of the same gene.

A DNA strand that had the sequence TACGTT would have a complimentary strand ATCGAT.

In eukaryotes, DNA replication proceeds in one direction along the DNA molecule.

Watson and Crick discovered that covalent bonds hold base pairs together at the center of a strand of DNA.

The tips of chromosomes are known as [blank_start]_________________________[blank_end].

Eukaryotic DNA molecules need to be carefully copied and sorted, especially in the formation of [blank_start]_________________________[blank_end] cells during meiosis.

A prokaryotic cell replicates its [blank_start]_________________________[blank_end] before it splits to form new cells, so that each new cell can have genetic material.

A difference between Eukaryotic DNA replication and prokaryotic DNA replication is that eukaryotic DNA replication has more [blank_start]______________________[blank_end].

Identify and explain two roles of the molecule, represented by the spheres in Figure 12–10. [blank_start]d[blank_end]

Where does DNA replication happen for prokaryotes and that of eukaryotes?

When does DNA replication happen?
