8. DNA Replication

In the overview of DNA replication, which enzyme is responsible for “unzipping” the DNA double helix by breaking hydrogen bonds between base pairs?

During DNA replication, which enzyme unwinds ("unzips") the parental DNA double helix at the replication fork?

In DNA replication, what is the primary function of DNA polymerase?

In an overview of DNA replication, what is the main goal of DNA replication in a cell?

In the overview of DNA replication, what is the primary role of DNA ligase?

In the overview of DNA replication, what is the primary role of topoisomerase at the replication fork?

In DNA replication, what is the primary role of primase?

Multiple origins of replication on the DNA molecules of eukaryotic cells serve to:

In DNA replication, what is the primary role of DNA ligase?

During DNA replication, which enzyme initiates DNA synthesis by creating a short RNA segment (primer) that provides a free $3\prime OH$ group for DNA polymerase?

During DNA replication, what stabilizes the unwound single-stranded DNA to prevent it from reannealing or forming secondary structures?

In the context of an overview of DNA replication, what is the primary purpose of DNA replication in cells?

In DNA replication, what is the direct substrate used by DNA polymerase to synthesize a new DNA strand?

During DNA replication, what is the primary role of DNA gyrase (a bacterial type II topoisomerase) ahead of the replication fork?

In the overview of DNA replication, what is the primary role of helicase at the replication fork?
