No questions.

1997

"What is DNA supercoiling and what is its biological relevance?"

"Review the evidence supporting the current models for the initiation of
DNA replication in eukaryotic cells."

1998

"Discuss the contribution of genetic studies in the elucidation of the
mechanism of DNA replication."

1999

"Trace the progress of a DNA replication fork from replication initiation
to termination in E.coli, indicating what proteins are required at
different times, and what topological problems need to be
overcome.  Briefly outline any differences you would expect during the
progress of a eukaryotic replication fork."

2000

"How can the initiation of DNA replication be detected in a eukaryotic
cell?  Describe the factors that may influence the timing of this
initiation."
