True or False (circle one): The anti-parallel nature of nucleic acids is illustrated in the replication
and expression of DNA, and even the translation of mRNA into protein. - answer True

replication when it binds to the chromosome near the ________2._______ - answer 1. DnaA
2. oriR/ origin of replication
Negative regulation by ________________ results when a signaling molecule binds to a
repressor protein, which enables the repressor protein to bind to the operator region of a gene
and block its transcription. - answer repression/ corepression
Negative regulation by __________ results when a signaling molecule binds to a repressor
protein and prevents it from binding to the operator region of a gene. (2) - answer induction/
