Multiple choice

Your Performance  

1.

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

  Holoenzyme

  DNA Polymerase II

  Topoisomerase

  DNA Ligase

  Half-n-half Clue
 

2.

An enzyme (used by all retroviruses) that transcribes genetic information of the virus from RNA into DNA, is :

  Reverse transcriptase

  RNA polymerase

  Restriction nuclease

  Methylase

  Half-n-half Clue
 

3.

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
 

4.

The enzyme responsible for initiating the unwinding of double-stranded DNA (eliminating supercoiling) by nicking a single strand of the DNA molecule is :

  Topoisomerase

  Ligase

  Helicase

  Gyrase

  Half-n-half Clue
 

5.

Because DNA polymerase III can only act from 5' to 3', continuous strand growth can be achieved only along one of the template strands (Leading strand) and strand growth along the other strand must occur discontinuously resulting in the production of a series of short sections of new DNA called :

  Replicon fragments

  Okazaki fragments

  Klenow fragments

  None of the above

  Half-n-half Clue
 

6.

What does transformation involve in Bacteria ?

  the creation of a strand of DNA from RNA

  assimilation of external DNA into a cell

  the creation of a strand of RNA from DNA

  the infection of cells by a phage DNA molecule

  Half-n-half Clue
 

7.

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
