What is DNA replication?
Show hintHide hint
Think about what happens before cell division.
Question 2.
Name the enzyme responsible for DNA synthesis.
Show hintHide hint
It starts with 'D' and is crucial for adding nucleotides.
3Question 3.
What is the main enzyme involved in DNA replication?
- RNA polymerase
- DNA ligase
- DNA polymerase
Show hintHide hint
This enzyme starts with 'D' and is pivotal in the formation of new DNA.
4Question 4.
True or False: DNA replication is a conservative process.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Remember the definition of semi-conservative replication.
Question 5.
Consider a scenario where a DNA polymerase makes an error during replication. Analyze how different types of mutations could affect the protein that is ultimately expressed.
Show hintHide hint
Think about how the DNA's sequence translates into amino acids.
Question 6.
You are observing a population of bacteria that are exposed to a mutagen. Predict the potential effects on genetic diversity within this population.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how mutations contribute to survival in changing environments.
