DNA Replication - The Machinery and the Enzymes

Discontinuous synthesis of DNA occurs in one strand, because ______.

An enzyme that joins the ends of two strands of nucleic acid is a ______.

Select the correct match of enzyme with its related function.

Other than DNA polymerase, which are the enzymes involved in DNA synthesis?

The enzyme DNA dependent RNA polymerase catalyses the polymerisation reaction in ______ direction.

Read the following and answer from given below:

The process of copying genetic information from the template strand of DNA into RNA is called transcription. It is mediated by RNA polymerase. Transcription takes place in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. In transcription, only a segment of DNA and only one of the strands is copied into RNA.

Which enzyme helps in tailing or polyadenylation?

Depending upon the chemical nature of the template (DNA or RNA) and the nature of nucleic acids synthesised from it (DNA or RNA), list the types of nucleic acid polymerases.

What is the cause of discontinuous synthesis of DNA on one of the parental strands of DNA? What happens to these short stretches of synthesised DNA?
