- With illustrative diagrams, explain the three theories of DNA replication..arrow_forwardExplain why DNA replication is slightly slower in the lagging strand of DNA than in the leading strand.arrow_forwardExplain the function of an origin of replication in the replication of DNA, and know how the prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells differ in terms of the number of origins of replication on each chromosome. Explain why replication is different on the two strand at a replication fork, including: how these differences are related to the fact that DNA strands are synthesized in a 5’ to 3’ direction. what is meant by the terms bidirectional replication, and replication bubble. the role of the leading strand, lagging strand, Okazaki fragments, continuous and discontinuous replicationarrow_forward
- Name and describe the first four events (and associated enzymes) that happen during DNA replication at the DNA double helix (in correct sequence)arrow_forwardDescribe the synthesis of the leading strand during DNA replication. Assume the replication bubble is open and helicase has already opened the strand. Be as detailed as possible for full credit.arrow_forwardBriefly discuss the pros and cons of having a nucleoid (as bacteria do) versus a double nuclear membrane surrounding the DNA (as in eukaryotes).
