1 = Primase
2 = Helicase
3 = Single-strand binding proteins
4 = DNA polymerase
A)1, 2, 3, 4

D)2, 3, 4, 1
E)2, 4, 3, 1



2What is the function of the enzyme primase during DNA replication?
A)to unwind the double helix to prime it for replication
B)to prime DNA for replication by preventing the formation of knots
C)to add a DNA primer to enable replication of DNA
D)to add a RNA primer to enable replication of DNA
E)to correct errors made during DNA replication



3The short DNA segments formed on the discontinuously replicated strand are called
A)Kawasaki fragments.
B)Nagasaki fragments.
