Bacterial DNA replication terminates when the two growing forks meet in the ____________ region, which is located 180^o around the circular chromosome from the origin.

There are three models of DNA replication. Which of the following is not a model?

If Meselson and Stahl had results from density gradient analysis of bacterial DNA that indicated only two bands, one of the original density and one that was the same as unlabeled DNA, and no intermediate density band, this would indicate that DNA replication is:

A region called a _____________, which contains newly synthesized DNA, grows as
DNA synthesis continues.

At a growing replication fork, the replication of the two strands is:

Solution

Ans 1) Terminus

Explanation: Terminus is known as \"Ter\" and is located 180 degree away from the origin.

Ans 2) Progressive

Explanation: There is no model under this name. Semi-conservative model is the most accepted model.

Ans 3) Replication bubble

Explanation: The replication bubble grows in size; resulting in inverted \"theta\" as replication continues.

Ans 4) Continuous for leading strand, and discontinuous for lagging strand
