Answer the following genetics questions:
a. In detail describe the process of DNA replication. Be sure to include all the major enzymes (gyrase, helicase, ligase, polymerase, primase), SSBs, replication fork, Okazaki fragments, and strand types (leading v. lagging). Draw and label a diagram of a replication bubble and replication forks.
b. Describe and differentiate among the primary, secondary, and
tertiary structures of a protein. To what
kinds of interactions can each of these stages be
ascribed?
c. What are the functions of the 5' cap and poly(A) tail of mature mRNAs in eukaryotes?
Replication
Parental DNA double helix is denatured by helicase enzyme and single stranded proteins hold them in single strand condition. Supercoil that builds during this phase will be relaxed by the gyrase enzyme
Once dentaured primer will be added by primase at the 5' end and polymerase starts to add nucleotides and replication bubble move on. In leading strand tbere will be continous strand synthesis and in lagging strand it will produced in patch that is called as ogazaki fragments and they are ligated by ligase enzyme
2. Protein structures
Primary structure :
It is made up of amino acids that are bound by peptide bonds
Secondary structure : it is made up alpha helix beta sheets and beta turns that are made from aminoacid sequence
Tertiary structure : it has hydrogen , ionic and disulfide bonds that makes the protein confirmations
3. Role of 5' cap and poly a tail
Both 5' cap and poly a tail protects the mRNA from degradation by enzymes when it is taken to the cytoplasm

Describe the process of DNA replication. (Your answer should include the following: replication fork, semiconservative replication, replication fork, DNA gyrase, helicase, primase, DNA polymerase, DNA ligase, leading strand, lagging strand, continuous replication, non-continuous replication, and Okazaki fragment)
5 Describe the process of DNA replication; include the following terms: antiparallel structure, DNA Okazaki fragments, DNA ligase, primer, primase, helicase, topoisomerase, single-strand binding proteins. Describe the function of Helicase, Primase, topoisomerase, DNA Polymerase III, DNA Polymerase I, DNA ligase
DNA Replication - Describe the process of DNA replication in a well-organized manner. Start with the helicase and go through the entire process, step by step. Use these terms correctly: Helicase, DNA primase, single stranded binding proteins, DNA polymerase I, DNA Polymerase III, leading strand, lagging strand, okazaki fragments, ligase, topoisomerase, sliding clamp, clamp loader. Please use correct descriptions of the enzyme function. For example, do not say, “seals nicks.” Tell me what “seals nicks” means.

Describe DNA replication on the leading and lagging strands of DNA. Your answer must include a description of the roles of the following enzymes: -DNA polymerase I (5’-3’polymerase activity, 3’-5’ exonuclease activity, 5’-3’ exonuclease activity) -DNA polymerase III (5’-3’polymerase activity, 3’-5’ exonuclease activity) -helicase, primase, ligase, gyrase
How many replication forks depart from an origin of replication? one two three four five QUESTION 10 A new DNA strand elongates only in the 5 to 3 direction because DNA polymerase can only add nucleotides to the free 3'end. replication must progress toward the replication fork. the polarity of the DNA molecule prevents addition of nucleotides at the 3'end. Okazaki fragments prevent elongation in the 3 to 5 direction DNA polymerase begins adding nucleotides at the end of the...
In the following diagram, label the following: leading and lagging strand, Okazaki fragment, DNA polymerase, DNA ligase, helicase, RNA primase, singlestrand binding proteins, RNA primer, replication fork, topoisomerase and the 5' and 3' ends of strands.
