Biochemistry - C624: Module 1: The Case of the Boy Who Wanted to Fly/ 3. Check Your Understanding: Inheritance. Exam Review Questions and answers, VERIFIED. DNA replication is ___________, which allows each of the two strands to serve as a _______ for the new strands. - -c. semiconservative, template CorrectCorrect! DNA replication is semiconservative, meaning that each new duplex has one original (parent) strand and one new strand. Because the two parent strands are separated during replication and the base pairing is predictable, each parent strand can serve as a template for the new strand synthesis. Which of the following enzymes does NOT assist the DNA polymerase on the lagging strand to overcome its two problems? (Recall that the DNA polymerase can only make DNA in the 5'-3' direction, and it must bind a double-stranded nucleotide polymer before it can start making its own DNA polymer.) - - a. Helicase CorrectCorrect! Helicase unwinds the double stranded DNA to allow for replication, but this is not a problem for the DNA polymerase.
