Question #1
The enzyme that removes RNA primers and replaces them with DNA during replication is:
A. DNA polymerase III
B. Ligase
C. DNA polymerase I
D. Helicase

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
In prokaryotes, DNA polymerase I has 5'→3' exonuclease activity that removes the RNA primer and fills the gap with DNA. DNA polymerase III adds nucleotides to the growing strand. Ligase seals the nicks. Helicase unwinds DNA. In eukaryotes, RNase H removes primers and DNA polymerase δ fills the gap.

Question #2
In which phase of mitosis does the nuclear envelope reform around the chromosomes?
A. Telophase
B. Metaphase
C. Anaphase
D. Prophase

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
During telophase, the chromatids reach the poles, decondense, and the nuclear envelope reassembles around each set, forming two daughter nuclei. The spindle disappears. Prophase involves nuclear envelope breakdown, metaphase aligns chromosomes, and anaphase separates chromatids. Cytokinesis often overlaps with telophase, dividing the cytoplasm.

The enzyme that converts fibrinogen to fibrin during blood clotting is:
A. Fibrinogen
B. Plasmin
C. Prothrombin
D. Thrombin

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Thrombin, a serine protease, converts soluble fibrinogen into insoluble fibrin, forming a blood clot. Prothrombin is its precursor, plasmin breaks down clots.
