DNA how do you tell if a DNA strand begins with the 5 prime or the 3 prime?
The 5 prime end of DNA has phosphate group while the 3 prime end has a hydroxyl group.
The direction of DNA replication on the leading strand occurs in the?
The enzyme DNA polymerase synthesises strands in the 5 prime to 3 prime direction, and as DNA is antiparallel the replication of the leading strand occurs from the 3 prime end of the template to the 5 prime end of the template.
What is 5' and 3' in DNA?
A single-stranded non-circular DNA molecule has two non-identical ends, the 3' end and the 5' end (usually pronounced "three prime end" and "five prime end"). The numbers refer to the numbering of carbon atoms in the deoxyribose, which is a sugar forming an important part of the backbone of the DNA molecule. In the backbone of DNA the 5' carbon of one deoxyribose is linked to the 3' carbon of another by a phosphate group. The 5' carbon of this deoxyribose is again linked to the 3' carbon of the next, and so forth.
Why do enzymes work in opposite detections in replication?
In DNA replication, enzymes (DNA polymerases) work in the 3 prime to 5 prime end, creating the new strand in the 5 prime to 3 prime direction. This is due to their structure- they add bases to preexisting 3 prime anchors. Of the five carbons on the deoxyribose, the 3 prime is joined to a hydroxyl and the 5 prime is joined to a phosphate group.
Does the 3' or 5' end of a DNA helix grow?
DNA is linear, so there must be two ends to it. (Prokaryote circular genomes have a 5' and 3' end as well, but only for directional purposes).

Does replication of DNA begin at one end and process to the other?
Yes, absolutely; from the dsDna's five-prime [5'] end toward its three prime [3'] end.

What chemical group is at the end of the 5 prime end of DNA strand?
5' - phosphate group 3' - hydroxyl group
What end of the DNA molecule allows the best access for DNA polymerase during replication?
3'OH end 3'OH end
What does a single strand of DNA bind to in the phosphate group?
The 5 prime end of the strand.
During DNA replication DNA polymerase lands at origination sites and forms?
DNA polymerase is instrumental in DNA elongation as it catalyzes the addition of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates to the 3 prime end hydroxyl group of the DNA chain. DNA polymerase binds on the origin of replication, and forms a pre-replication complex with other proteins. The replication complex unwinds DNA during replication

What do all prime numbers end with?
After 5, all prime numbers end with 1, 3, 7 or 9.
Did optimus prime kill sentinel prime?
see he does in transformers 3 at the end
