Question: Shown below is a segment of replicating DNA. A small part of the DNA sequence is magnified. a ) Label the 5 ' and 3

Shown below is a segment of replicating DNA. A small part of the DNA sequence is magnified.
a) Label the 5' and 3' ends by filling in the shaded boxes and show the direction of movement of replication forks by an arrow.
b) Which strand in Region 1 is the template for the leading strand: Top/ Bottom
c) Draw the primer for the leading strand in Region 1 and label its 5' and 3' ends.
d) You isolate cells from a normal healthy individual and grow them in the following plates:
+Plate 1 has TAT-2, a compound known to activate telomerase.
+ Plate 2 has ciprofloxacin, a compound that inhibits topoisomerase.
In which plate would DNA replication be inhibited and why?
e) You identify a mutant cell that shows an increased error rate during replication. Which enzyme REMOVES the incorrect nucleotide during replication and what activity of the enzyme allows it to do so?
Shown below is a segment of replicating DNA. A
