17. During the replication of a DNA molecule (Hint: More than one correct answer)
A.) replication fork is formed |
||
B.) A pairs with T and G pairs with C |
||
C.) the two new products of replication will have different genetic information when compared with the parent strands. |
||
D.) new base pairs must be formed according to ratio mentioned by Chargaff's rule. |
The replication of DNA molecule involves the unwinding of the DNA molecule by a Helicase enzyme.
The unwound DNA molecule is then bound by the DNA Polymerase. This enzyme reads the sequence on the template strand and synthesize a new strand in 5' to 3' direction. While synthesizing, A is paired with T, C with G, T with A and G with C. This results, in the ratio of Purines to Pyrimidines in the daughter strand to be equal to 1, i.e. Chargaff's rue holds true.
The enzyme has a very low error rate. Hence the daugher DNA stranda have the exact same information as in the parent strands.
Thus, the incorrect statement is C.
