a) Sox17 paracrine factor that specify cells to be endoderm

b) Nodal transcription factors that instruct the cell layers above them to become mesoderm

c) Nodal paracrine factors that instruct the cell layers above them to become mesoderm

d) Sox17 transcription factor that specify cells to be endoderm

#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?

A heat-sensitive DNA ligase (25°C permissive, 37°C nonpermissive) has been used to show that DNA synthesis is discontinuous. Examination of DNA replication in the presence of [3H]-thymidine in the mutant would demonstrate which of following?
