Exam 13: Dna Replication and Repair

As replication proceeds,the lagging strand template of the DNA is looped back on itself so that it has the same orientation as the leading strand template; the looping DNA repeatedly grows and shortens during lagging strand replication.This model is often referred to as the _________.

During replication,DNA is constructed in small segments called ________ that are rapidly linked to longer pieces of DNA synthesized earlier.

Which eukaryotic DNA polymerase functions in DNA repair,but does not appear to be involved in nuclear DNA replication?

The clamp loader that loads PCNA onto DNA is called _______ and is analogous to the E.coli DNA polymerase III clamp loader complex.

Which eukaryotic DNA polymerase is thought to be the primary DNA-synthesizing enzyme during replication of the lagging strand?

Since one strand of DNA is synthesized continuously during replication and the other is made discontinuously,replication is said to be ___________.
