Multiple choice

Your Performance  

1.

An enzyme that recognizes and cuts DNA only at a particular sequence of nucleotides is often called :

  Restriction endonuclease

  RNA polymerase

  Photolyase

  DNA glycosylase

  Half-n-half Clue
 

2.

The enzyme X removes RNA primers attached by Primase and this gap is then filled in by DNA Polymerase I. The enzyme X is :

  RNase H

  DNA amylase

  DNA ligase

  Reverse Transcriptase

  Half-n-half Clue
 

3.

The enzyme that creates a short RNA oligonucleotide at initiation sites where replication is to be carried out is called :

  Primase

  DNA Ligase

  DNA Gyrase

  Exonuclease

  Half-n-half Clue
 

4.

In DNA, mutations at G-C sequences occur quite frequently since 5-methyl cytosine easily deaminates to form :

  Thymine

  Adenine

  Guanine

  Cytosine

  Half-n-half Clue
 

5.

The enzyme that replaces the nucleotides of the RNA primer with the appropriate DNA nucleotides is :

  DNA Polymerase II

  RNA Polymerase

  DNA Ligase

  DNA Gyrase

  Half-n-half Clue
 

6.

A major difference between DNA replication in prokaryotes and eukaryotes is :

  prokaryotes do not use Topoisomerase in the replication process

  DNA amylase performs the function of DNA helicase in prokaryotes

  replication is conservative in prokaryotes

  there is only one replication origin in prokaryotes.

  Half-n-half Clue
 

7.

The enzyme that stitches Okazaki fragments together (along the lagging strand) is called :

  Topoisomerase

  Holoenzyme

  DNA Polymerase II

  DNA Ligase

  Half-n-half Clue
