What does heat do to the DNA polymerase?

Heat denatures protein. DNA polymerase is an enzyme and a protein.


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.


Which protein would you need to complete the synthesis of a new strand of DNA?

DNA polymerase


Is polymerase A Protein?

RNA and DNA polymerases are enzymes and hence, they are proteins.


Kary Mullis discovered a type of DNA polymerase that could withstand high temperatures Why did scientists want to heat up DNA replication?

This is because of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Basically, the problem is that you have a mixture of DNA, polymerase, primers etc, and you want to denature the DNA (separate both chains) - the denaturation happens at 94°C. Since the polymerase is present in the mixture, it has to withstand such temperature.


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.


What protein does DNA polymerase remove as it adds nucleotides?

When the replication fork is moving towards DNA double strand in the direction 5'- 3', a "Single-strand Binding Protein" (or SSB) -a dnaB gene product- must be removed in order to allow DNA polymerase to add the following nucleotide.


What is the name of the enzyme that match the DNA bases?

DNA polymerase matches the bases on the parent strand.


What enzyme transcribes DNA?

The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.


During DNA replication DNA is split apart into two strands as the new DNA strands are created what is the function of DNA polymerase?

The polymerase itself does not separate the DNA strands. Helicase (another enzyme, sometimes found in complex with a polymerase holoenzyme) does the separating for it, ahead of the replication fork.


What enzyme elongates DNA?

DNA Polymerase III
