In Eukaryotes The Chromosomes Are Linear Dnas. How Is The Problem Of Replication Handled?

The chromosomes form circles during mitosis, allowing them to be easily replicated by the rolling circle mechanism. The centromeres contain highly repetitive sequences that allow for imprecise replication without losing genes. Eukaryotes have evolved a special set of proteins, similar to Adenovirus, that allow the chromosomes to be fully replicated. The ends of the chromosomes contain telomere repeat sequences that do not contain genes, so failing to replicate the complete 5-ends of the template has little consequence.

About the flashcard:

This flashcard is meant to be used for studying, quizzing and learning new information. Many scouting web questions are common questions that are typically seen in the classroom, for homework or on quizzes and tests. Flashcards vary depending on the topic, questions and age group. The cards are meant to be seen as a digital flashcard as they appear double sided, or rather hide the answer giving you the opportunity to think about the question at hand and answer it in your head or on a sheet before revealing the correct answer to yourself or studying partner. Some questions will include multiple choice options to show you the options involved and other questions will just have the questions and corrects answers. Simply reveal the answer when you are ready to check your work. Absolutely no cheating is acceptable.
