Structure of DNA
9) One side (one polymer of nucleotides) of the DNA molecule is said
to be complementary to the other side of the molecule. Which of
these best formulates how the structure of DNA pairs perfectly to
the process of DNA replication?
A) During DNA replication, transfer RNA molecules bring amino
acids to the exposed gene.
B) During DNA replication, the molecule splits at the peptide
bonds, and amino acids are added to the new side of the
ladder.
C) During DNA replication, the molecule splits at the weak
hydrogen bonds, and each side provides a template for the new side of the ladder.
D) During DNA replication, the enzyme zipperase breaks the weak bonds between the ladder and
complementary lipid molecules are shuttled to the exposed nucleotides.
