11. (10 pts) Match the following DNA replication terms with the correct definition. Increases processivity of DNA replication Enzyme that synthesizes DNA Connects loose pieces of DNA DNA strands run in opposite directions Separates DNA into two strands Extends the ends of chromosomes Fixes mistakes after replication is complete Half newly-made DNA and half old DNA DNA strands hydrogen-bond back together Short, unconnected pieces of DNA a) DNA polymerase b) Telomerase c) Antiparallel d) Helicase e) Semiconservative f) Sliding clamp g) Lagging strand h) Excision repair i) Renaturation j) Ligase

Explanation / Answer

Increases processivity of DNA replication: Sliding Clamp

The enzyme that synthesizes DNA: a) DNA polymerase

Connects loose pieces of DNA: Ligase

DNA strands run in opposite directions: Antiparallel

Separate DNA into two strands: Helicase

Extends the end of chromosomes: Telomerase

Fixes mistakes after replication in complete: Excision repair

Half newly made DNA and half old DNA: Semiconservative

DNA strands hydrogen bond back together: renaturation

Short unconnected pieces of DNA: Lagging strand
