Match the following types of chromosomal rearrangements;

COLUMN I	COLUMN II
A) Tandem duplication	i) duplicated segment is located some distance from the original segment, either on the same chromosome or on a different one
B) Displaced duplication	ii) duplication can be in the same orientation as that of the original sequence
C) Inverted duplication	iii) the duplicated region is immediately adjacent to the original segment

Use the figure to answer the following question. In the late 1950s, Meselson and Stahl grew bacteria in a medium containing "heavy" (radioactive) nitrogen (15N) and then transferred them to a medium containing 14N (nonradioactive). Which of the results in the figure would be expected after one round of DNA replication in the presence of 14N?

#Question id: 3843

#Unit 3. Fundamental Processes

In DNA replication in E. coli, the enzyme primase is used to attach a 5 to 10 base ribonucleotide strand complementary to the parental DNA strand. The RNA strand serves as a starting point for the DNA polymerase that replicates the DNA. If a mutation occurred in the primase gene, which of the following results would you expect?

The lagging strand is characterized by a series of short segments of DNA (Okazaki fragments) that will be joined together to form a finished lagging strand. The experiments that led to the discovery of Okazaki fragments gave evidence for which of the following ideas?
