Question #1
In E. coli, both DNA polymerase I and DNA polymerase III have 5' to 3' exonucealse activity to remove RNA primers and replace with DNA nucleotides.
A.   True
B.   False
Question #2
In E. coli, the very last step of replication of the entire genome is performed by:
A.   telomerase.
B.   DNA ligase.
C.   DNA polymerase III.
D.   helicase.
E.   DNA polymerase I.
Question #3
In bacteria, termination occurs at specific termination (Ter) sites, but eukaryotes don't use this same mechanism.
A.   False
B.   True
Question #4
The action of telomerase add DNA repeats to:
A.   extend DNA at the 3' end.
B.   extend DNA at the 5' end.
C.   extend DNA with double-stranded repeats on the end of a chromosome.
Question #5
Extension of a linear chromosome by telomerase requires additional help from the replication machinery to create an antiparallel Okazaki fragment, so there will always be a 3' overhang of single-stranded DNA.
A.   True
B.   False
