How does topoisomerase affect the DNA strand during DNA replication?
The topoisomerase enzyme uncoils the double helical structure of DNA during its replication to form the replication fork. In eukaryotes both posive and negative supercoils get unbind by topoisomerase I & II respectively.Topoisomerase isomerase unwinds DNA to form replication fork
Is RNA polymerase used in both leading and lagging strands of DNA replication?
the leading strand is synthesized in the same direction as the movement of the replication fork, and the lagging strand is synthesized in the opposite direction
What does the replication fork do in DNA replication?
Replication forks hold the two separated strands of DNA apart preventing them from assuming their double helic shape.
What is the y-shaped structure of DNA double helix?
replication fork
Explain the replication of DNA Include the role of helicase?
1. Helicases unwind the double helix at the replication fork and single strand binding proteins (SSBs) stablilize unwound DNA ahead of the fork.
What happens at the DNA replication fork?
The DNA replication fork is where the replication origin forms the Y shape. The replication fork moves down the DNA strand to the strand's end, resulting in every replication fork having a twin.
What separates the DNA strands during replication?
That would be called the Replication Fork
Replication of the two DNA strands takes place?
In the same directions of the replication fork
The sites where DNA replication and separation occur is called?
Both occur at the Replication Fork. Don't let the name deceive you.
Y shaped regions where the 2 strands of DNA separate?
It is called a replication fork.
The junction between separated strands of DNA is called what?
replication fork
The site where separation and replication occur is called?
Replication Fork
Where does replication of the two DNA strands takes place?
in a direction opposite to that of the replication fork
How does topoisomerase affect the DNA strand during DNA replication?
The topoisomerase enzyme uncoils the double helical structure of DNA during its replication to form the replication fork. In eukaryotes both posive and negative supercoils get unbind by topoisomerase I & II respectively.Topoisomerase isomerase unwinds DNA to form replication fork
Do replication forks speed up replication?
Multiple replication forks working in concert, can be replicated in about 8 hours
Is RNA polymerase used in both leading and lagging strands of DNA replication?
the leading strand is synthesized in the same direction as the movement of the replication fork, and the lagging strand is synthesized in the opposite direction
What binds after the replication fork?
Single-strand binding protein
