Some organisms use single-stranded rather than double-stranded DNA In these organisms which enzyme would probably not be needed for DNA replication?

DNA helicase


Why would a new cell need an entire copy of the old cell's DNA?

So it can carry out the sum total of all cellular functions. Genes code for proteins and you would not want to be short of a needed enzyme, for instance. Besides, the actuallity of replication IS replication of the genetic material. That is what genes do.


Some organisms use singlestranded rather than doublestranded DNA In these organisms which enzyme would probably not be needed for DNA replication?

Some viruses have single stranded DNA molecules. These viruses do not have the machinery to synthesise the DNA on their own. They insert their DNA in a living cell where the DNA synthesis takes place.


What enzyme is responsible for unwinding the DNA molecule for replication?

DNA Helicase is the enzyme responsible for unzipping DNA before replication occurs.


Why was it important to find an enzyme that would cut the plasmid at only one site?

If the plasmid were cut at the replication, it would not be able to reproduce & transfer genetic information to its host cell.


What enzyme breaks hydrogen bonds between nitrogen bases?

Helicase and RNA polymerase separate DNA strands by breaking the hydrogen bonds between complementary bases.Helicase parts the strands of DNA during DNA replication, and RNA polymerase parts them during transcription.The enzyme that separates DNA in called DNA helicases. There are two of them that work away from the origin of replication, creating in "bubble" in the DNA molecule. For eukaryotes, there would be several origins of replication but in prokaryotes, there is only one origin of replication.


What happens when a helicase doesn't work?

Replication would be hard pressed to take place. Helicase is the enzyme that splits the double helix and unwinds this helix so that DNA polymerase can do it's job of running the leading and lagging strands of DNA in the replication process.


What enzyme assembles the complimentary nucleotide bases during replication?

THat would be the enzyme DNA Polymerase III which attaches free floating nucleotides to the parent strand. But remember, they can only be attached to a free 3' position!


What would happen to cellular respiration process if the enzyme for one step of the process for missing or defective?

If an enzyme in a sequence of enzyme-controlled reactions is missing or defective then the process will stop at that point. So respiration could proceed until it reached the reaction which needed the missing or defective enzyme at which point it would stop.

If an enzyme in a sequence of enzyme-controlled reactions is missing or defective then the process will stop at that point. So respiration could proceed until it reached the reaction which needed the missing or defective enzyme at which point it would stop.


What enzyme is needed for the conversion of testosterone into estradiol?

CYP1A2 and CYP3A4 but I would like more indepth info too


What separates the DNA strands during replication?

That would be called the Replication Fork
