During DNA replication in prokaryotes, synthesis begins on the circular chromosome randomly on the chromosome at the promoter at any stretch of DNA that is high in AT pairs always at the same place TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
Which of the following enzymes unwind short stretches of DNA helix immediately ahead of a replication fork? Single-stranded binding proteins DNA polymerases Topoisomerases Helicases TRUE ANSWER : ? YOUR ANSWER : ?
The replication of chromosomes by eukaryotes occurs in a relatively short period of time because eukaryotic DNA is always single stranded the eukaryotic replication machinery is 1000 times faster than the prokaryotes the eukaryotes have more amount of DNA for replication each chromosome contains multiple replicons TRUE ANSWER : ?
