Multiple choice

Your Performance  

1.

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
 

2.

The end of a DNA strand that has a phosphate group attached to the number 5 carbon of its terminal deoxyribonucleotide is called :

  The 5 prime end (5')

  The 3 prime end (3')

  N-Terminus

  C-Terminus

  Half-n-half Clue
 

3.

The enzyme that accomplishes the unwinding of the original double stranded DNA molecule, once supercoiling has been eliminated, by breaking the hydrogen bonds that hold the two strands together is :

  Helicase

  Topoisomerase

  DNA Polymerase II

  Primase

  Half-n-half Clue
 

4.

The enzyme (made of proteins and RNA) that elongates chromosomes by adding TTAGGG sequences to the end of existing chromosomes is :

  Telomerase

  Exonuclease

  Endonuclease

  Amylase

  Half-n-half Clue
 

5.

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
 

6.

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
 

7.

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
