Questions
Choose the correct statement with respect to replication of DNA.
a
DNA polymerase III can initiate the formation of daughter DNA strand on template DNA strand.
b
Eukaryotic chromosomes have only one replicon per chromosome
c
DNA replication is unidirectional
d
A primer is required for the formation of daughter DNA strand on template DNA strand
detailed solution
Correct option is D
DNA polymerase III can not initiate the synthesis of daughter DNA strand on template DNA strand. It can elongate the polynucleotide strand by attaching deoxyribonucleotides to the primer in 5ʹ → 3ʹ direction. Primer is attached by Primase (RNA polymerase) by recruiting few ribonucleotides over the template DNA strand at ori which was originally separated by helicase.Talk to our academic expert!
