Hershey and Chase (1952)Their work pointed to DNA rather than proteins…
Bacteriophages what are they???? (worked with one called T2)

Some phages grown in media for a couple hrs with radioactive Sulphur…(which should be incorporated into some proteins Methionine, Cysteine)
Other phages grown in media for a couple hrs with radioactive Phosphorus….(which should be incorporated into DNA)

Question 1.True of Leading strand, Lagging strand, or Both????
Daughter strand elongates away from replication fork
Synthesizes 5’ to 3’
Multiple primers needed
Made in segments
Made continuously
Daughter strand elongates toward replication fork

Question 2. The diagram below shows a replication bubble with synthesis of the leading and lagging strands on both sides of the bubble. The parental DNA is shown in dark blue, the newly synthesized DNA is light blue, and the RNA primers associated with each strand are red. The origin of replication is indicated by the black dots on the parental strands.
Rank the primers in the order they were produced. If two primers were produced at the same time, overlap them.

Question 3. The lagging strand is synthesized as a series of segments called Okazaki fragments Fragment A is the most recently synthesized and Fragment B will be synthesized next in the space between primers A and B.
-----Start DNA polymerase III binds to 3’ end of primer B
A. DNA polymerase I replaces primer with DNAB. DNA polymerase I binds to 5’ end of primer AC. DNA polymerase III moves 5’ to 3’ adding DNA nucleotides to primer BD. DNA ligase links fragments A and B
