The enzyme responsible for initiating DNA replication in prokaryotes is: 1. DNA polymerase I 2. DNA polymerase III 3. Polymerase beta 4. Primase

Proofreading is a mechanism by which DNA polymerase corrects replication mistakes. Enzyme recognizes imperfection between newly paired nucleotides, deletes the last nucleotide and adds the correct one. As a result...

The function of the primase enzyme is to synthesize short RNA primers that are required to initiate synthesis of new DNA strands by the enzyme DNA polymerase. Synthesis of primer...

d. Enzyme only

E. coli, as most microscopic organisms (bacteria), has a single origin of replication on its chromosome. As the DNA opens, two Y-molded designs called replication forks are framed, together making...

1) An enzyme called RuBisCO (Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase) helps catalyze the reaction that turns CO2 into glucose, which plants use as an energy source.2) Ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase-oxygenase catalyzes the addition of gaseous carbon dioxide to ribulose-1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP), generating two...

Since DNA polymerase requires a free 3' OH group for initiation of synthesis, it can synthesize in only one direction by extending the 3' end of the preexisting nucleotide chain....

1. The bacterial chromosome has commonly one origin of replication. However, the replication occurs in both directions from the origin. As a result, there are two forks of replication in...

1. DNA ligase is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond between two DNA strands joining them together. DNA ligase is present in eukaryotes and prokaryotes and...

The similarities between eukaryotes and prokaryotes DNA replication. a) Both the replication processes occur before nuclear division. b)The DNA involved in both processes are double-stranded. c)The replication occurs in 5’...
