Which of the following are the components of deoxyribonucleic acid? Question (A) Bases (A, T, G and C) (B) Amino acid (C) Phosphate (D) Fructose (E) All of the above A. Correct! Yes, this is the best answers to the question. B. Incorrect No, amino acids are part of proteins. C. Incorrect! While phosphates can be found on the DNA chain it is not the best response to the question. Feedback D. Incorrect! Analytical chemistry is a well established branch of chemistry. So this selection is not correct. E. Incorrect! No, there is a best answer to the question. Bases such as A, T, G, and C are part of DNA. DNA is a polymer. The monomer units of DNA are nucleotides, and the polymer is known as a "polynucleotide." Each nucleotide consists of a 5-carbon sugar (Deoxyribose), a nitrogen containing base attached to the sugar, and a phosphate group. The correct answer is (A).

Which of the following is not a Watson-Crick Rule? Question (A) Two helical polynucleotide chains are coiled around a common axis. The chains run in parallel direction. (B) The polymerase and helicase are on the inside of the helix, whereas the primase and topoisomerase units are on the outside. (C) The diameter of the helix is 20 Å. Adjacent bases are separated by 3.4 Å along the helix axis and related by a rotation of 36 degrees. Hence, the helical structure repeats after 10 residues on each chain, that is, at interval of 34 Å. (D) The two chains are held together by phosphate bonds between pairs of bases. Adenine is always paired with thymine; guanine is always paired with cytosine. (E) The sequence of bases along a polynucleotide chain is not restricted in the direction of 3’ to 5’. A. Incorrect! No, the chains run in antiparallel direction. B. Incorrect! No, Polymerase, helicase, primase, and topoisomerase are involved in DNA replication but not described in Watson-Crick Rules. C. Correct! Transcription is the process of going from DNA to mRNA. Feedback D. Incorrect! DNA polymerase is involved with DNA replication, repair or copying. E. Incorrect! No, this is not a correct response. Solution Watson-Crick rules: Two helical polynucleotide chains are coiled around a common axis. The chains run in opposite direction. The purine and pyrimidine bases are on the inside of the helix, whereas the phosphate and deoxyribose units are on the outside. The diameter of the helix is 20 Å. Adjacent bases are separated by 3.4 Å along the helix axis and related by a rotation of 36 degrees. Hence, the helical structure repeats after 10 residues on each chain, that is, at interval of 34 Å. The two chains are held together by hydrogen bonds between pairs of bases. Adenine is always paired with thymine; guanine is always paired with cytosine The sequence of bases along a polynucleotide chain is not restricted in any way. The correct answer is (C).

Which of the following is a valid reason for why topoisomerase is needed for DNA replication? Question (A) Two DNA strain must be separated completely to allow the binding of DNA polymerase. (B) DNA duplex is bound by protein histones that need be removed by topoisomerase. (C) Topoisomerase can help reform of DNA duplex after DNA replication. (D) Topoisomerases relax supercoiled DNA structures to enable the binding of helicase, primase, and DNA polymerase. (E) None of the above A. Incorrect! No, The two DNA strain do not need be separated completely. B. Incorrect! No, the topoisomerase does not remove histones. C. Incorrect! No, the topoisomerase is not part of the reanealing process of DNA replication. Feedback D. Correct! Yes, on binding to DNA the topoisomerase which is an enzyme functions as described. E. Incorrect! No, one of the answers is correct. First review in your mind what a hydrogen bond is and does in a DNA molecule. On binding to DNA, topoisomerase I cleaves one strand of the DNA through a tyrosine (Y) residue attacking a phosphate. This process results in partial or complete relaxation of a supercoiled DNA. Type II Topoisomerases Can Introduce Negative Supercoils Through Coupling To ATP Hydrolysis. Both enzymes relax supercoiled DNA structures to enable the binding of helicase, primase, and DNA polymerase. Solution The correct answer is (D). RapidLearningCenter.com © Rapid Learning Inc.
