What does DNA polymerase 1 do?

DNA polymerase 1 is involved in replication when proofreading and repairing of the DNA sequence as well as removal of RNA primers placed by primase so that DNA polymerase 3 can successfully attach the complementary strand of DNA


How mutations are corrected?

DNA Polymerase carries out mismatch repair, or proofreading, and corrects any errors.


Does the enzyme RNA polymerase function in translation?

It catalyzes the bonding of RNA nucleotides.


What enzyme attaches and adds the matching nucleotides?

DNA Polymerase III adds nucleotides during DNA replication. DNA Polymerase I also adds nucleotides (to a lesser extent). DNA Pol I is responsible for replacing the primers with dNTPs, these sections are then joined to the rest by DNA Ligase.


How does mutations occur during DNA replication and transcription?

RNA polymerase doesn't have a proofreading function.


Compare the polymerase chain reaction and DNA replication?

PCR need thermostable enzyme like taq DNA polymearse, while in replication using highly proofreading enzyme DNA polymerase. taq enzyme work in very high temprature while in replication our body temprature


Principle enzyme involved in DNA replication?

DNA Polymerase.


What chemical is an enzyme that add nucleotides to a new strand of DNA during replication?

DNA Polymerase is the enzyme which adds new nucleotides during replication.


Is the enzyme that allows replication to occur DNA polymerase or RNA polymerase?

DNA polymerase replicated DNA. RNA polymerase creates mRNA to be used in protein synthesis. RNA polymerase does not replicated DNA.
