Gene Expression and Regulation
If a new nucleotide analog inhibits both leading and lagging strand synthesis only after an initial segment of DNA has been replicated, which component of replication is this analog most likely interfering with?
Which component ensures that there are no errors introduced during the process of replication?
What role does topoisomerase play in preventing issues during the process of replicating a long segment of chromosomal DNA?
What key difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells would influence how many primers are needed during their respective processes for replicating chromosomal DNA?
What is the role of DNA polymerase in DNA replication?
What would be an expected consequence of a mutation that causes telomerase to be overly active in somatic cells?
In which direction does DNA polymerase III add new nucleotides to a newly forming DNA strand during replication?
