Question

Description: DNA elongates from the 5' to 3' direction. To do so, it requires attack of a triphosphate base pair and release of pyrophosphate. In this exercise you will need to both draw in the mechanism for this attack, but also make sure your base correctly pairs with the drawn in base pair on the template strand. Please show hydrogen bonding with dashed lines Instructions: Using good old fashioned pen and paper (pencil is ok too), draw in the structure of each nucleotide that pairs correctly with the drawn base in the figure below (use figure 34.2 for an example). Please use arrows to show how these molecules interact to elongate the DNA strand. Take a photo of your work (make sure it is completely readable!) and submit (note: the app, Turbo Scan", works very well, small cost; "iScanner" is also available for free). What to submit: Submit the structures as a PDF or image. Primer strand Primer strand 0 2 Please label the nucleic acids that are paired in this worksheet.
