Proofreading is a mechanism by which DNA polymerase corrects replication mistakes. Enzyme recognizes imperfection between newly paired nucleotides, deletes the last nucleotide and adds the correct one. As a result the error rate goes down considerably.

Template-dependent DNA synthesis takes place during DNA replication.what are the requirements for a DNA strand to act as template?

DNA strands may act as templates only during specialphase of cell cycle called S-phase, so cell should be in that phase of growth. To perform replication itself, a huge number...

The enzyme responsible for initiating DNA replication in prokaryotes is: 1. DNA polymerase I 2. DNA polymerase III 3. Polymerase beta 4. Primase

The initiation of the replication process is done by the primase. The primase synthesizes RNA primer for DNA polymerase III, so it can begin the replication process. The right answer...

The binding of ________ is required for transcription to start. 1. a protein 2. DNA polymerase 3. RNA polymerase 4. a transcription factor

3. RNA polymerase.RNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesises RNA using DNA as a template. As a result, the transcription (synthesis of RNA) cannot begin without RNA polymerase.

REPLICATION FORK. Question 1 . If the gene for primase is mutated, what part of the replication will be affected?

The function of the primase enzyme is to synthesize short RNA primers that are required to initiate synthesis of new DNA strands by the enzyme DNA polymerase. Synthesis of primer...

A number of enzymes and accessory proteins play a rote in DNA synthesis at the replication fork. Discuss.

Multiple enzymes and proteins are required for DNA replication at a replication fork.• These include DNA polymerases, single-strand DNA binding proteins, helicases, primase,topoisomerases, and DNA ligase. Some of these are...

During polynucleotide synthesis by the foll. enzymes , in which case elongation occurs in 5'-3' direction ? DNA Polymerase RNA Polymerase Reverse Trancriptase All

All these polymerases add new bases to the 3' end of existing strands. That is, they synthesize in a 5'-to-3' direction by extending a strand base-paired to the template

In what way that DNA replication in E. coli shares the profound common ground with DNA replication in human?

E. coli, as most microscopic organisms (bacteria), has a single origin of replication on its chromosome. As the DNA opens, two Y-molded designs called replication forks are framed, together making...

if the DNA Polymerase III enzyme were to be able to read the DNA template in both the 3’ to 5’ and the 5’ to 3’ directions, suggest how different the DNA replication process will be?

Since DNA polymerase requires a free 3' OH group for initiation of synthesis, it can synthesize in only one direction by extending the 3' end of the preexisting nucleotide chain....

1 How many replication forks are in bacteria? 2 how many replication forks are in one replication bubble?

1. The bacterial chromosome has commonly one origin of replication. However, the replication occurs in both directions from the origin. As a result, there are two forks of replication in...

1 What is the difference between dna ligase dna pol I and dna pol delta 2 does okazaki fragments joining begin during replication or after the end of elongation of replication?!

1. DNA ligase is an enzyme that catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond between two DNA strands joining them together. DNA ligase is present in eukaryotes and prokaryotes and...
