Question

The failure to do this process properly activates the “9-1-1” complex. John Cairns’ experiments on this process (15[1])in E. coli identified a structure that resembles the letter theta, which helped identify this process as bidirectional. (15[1])The extremely high fidelity of this process is assisted by repair enzymes (15[1])MutS (15[2])and MutL which associate with PCNA, a (*) clamp that improves the processivity (10[1])of this task. Max Delbrück’s dispersive hypothesis (-5[1])of this process was debunked in favor of the semiconservative (10[1])hypothesis (10[2])after the Meselson-Stahl experiment. (10[1])A primer is needed to begin this process, which occurs in a namesake fork created by unwinding from helicases. DNA polymerase mediates, for 10 points, (-5[1])what (0[1])process that duplicates the (0[1])genome? ■END■ (10[1])
