Questions and Answers

What is the role of the DnaA protein in DNA replication?

  • Causing DNA to stretch and separating the strands (correct)
  • Loading the DnaB helicase onto the unwound DNA
  • Binding to the single-stranded regions to prevent rejoining of the strands
  • Breaking the hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous base pairs

    • What is the function of the DnaB helicase in DNA replication?

  • Forming a prepriming complex with the DnaA protein
  • Binding single-stranded DNA-binding proteins (SSBP)
  • Continuing the unwinding of DNA by breaking hydrogen bonds (correct)
  • Preventing the strands from rejoining

    • What is the function of single-strand DNA-binding protein (SSBP) in DNA replication?

  • Loading the DnaB helicase onto the unwound DNA
  • Breaking the hydrogen bonds between nitrogenous base pairs
  • Forming a prepriming complex with DnaA protein
  • Preventing rejoining of the DNA strands (correct)
