Questions and Answers

What is the role of DNA helicase in DNA replication?

  • Replaces RNA primers with DNA
  • Separates the two DNA strands by breaking hydrogen bonds (correct)
  • Alleviates positive supercoiling
  • Adds RNA primers to start DNA synthesis

    • What is the function of DNA gyrase in DNA replication?

  • Alleviates positive supercoiling ahead of the helicase (correct)
  • Synthesizes RNA primers for DNA synthesis
  • Removes RNA primers and replaces them with DNA
  • Binds to separated DNA strands to keep them apart

    • What is the initial role of single-strand binding proteins in DNA replication?

  • Bind to the separated DNA strands to keep them apart (correct)
  • Synthesize RNA primers for DNA synthesis
  • Alleviate positive supercoiling
