Question 1.
What is the primary purpose of DNA replication?
Show hintHide hint
Think about cell division.
Question 2.
What enzyme unwinds the DNA during replication?
Show hintHide hint
This enzyme 'breaks' the bonds between DNA strands.
3Question 3.
What is the function of helicase in DNA replication?
- A) Synthesizes DNA strands
- B) Unwinds the DNA double helix
- C) Proofreads the new DNA strand
Show hintHide hint
Remember, it starts the process.
4Question 4.
True or False: DNA replication occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Think about where DNA is stored.
Question 5.
Design an experiment to measure the rate of DNA replication in a bacterial cell. Include controls and variables you would monitor.
Show hintHide hint
Consider how to distinguish new strands from old strands.
Question 6.
Discuss the role of environmental factors on the rate of DNA replication. How might factors like temperature and pH affect replication accuracy?
Show hintHide hint
Think about enzyme behavior under different temperatures.
