Questions and Answers

What is the role of helicase in DNA replication?

  • It removes RNA primers from Okazaki fragments
  • It unwinds the parental double helix (correct)
  • It synthesizes the leading strand continuously
  • It stabilizes the unwound template strands

What is the function of single-strand binding proteins during DNA replication?

  • They initiate primer synthesis by primase
  • They remove RNA primers from the leading strand
  • They stabilize the unwound template strands (correct)
  • They join the Okazaki fragments together

What is the direction of synthesis for the leading strand?

  • Discontinuous
  • 3' to 5'
  • Both 3' to 5' and 5' to 3'
  • 5' to 3' (correct)
