Choose true or false for each of the following statements 1

Choose true or false for each of the following statements.

1. Eukaryotic cells have multiple DNA polymerases (True/False)

2. Prokaryotic cells have multiple origins of replication. (True/False)

3. Eukaryotic cells must replicate the mitochondrial DNA with polymerase gamma. (True/False)

4. Eukaryotic cells use polymerase I to remove the RNA primers. (false/True)

5. DNA replication in eukaryotes takes a much longer time than DNA replication in prokaryotes (flase/ true)

Solution

Answers :

1. The given statements is TRUE. Since Eukaryotes contains five different kinds of polymerases such Polymerase alpha, beta, gamma, delta and epsilon which carries different functions.

2. The given statement is FALSE. As prokaryotes has single origin of replication unlike in eukaryotes which has multiple origin sites.

3. The given statement is TRUE, as DNA polymerase gamma is the enzyme involved in mitochondrial DNA replication.

4. The given statement is FALSE, As DNA polymerase I is a prokaryotic enzyme.

5. The given statement is TRUE.
