What cell cause mutations?

DNA polymerase


How does polymerase prevent mutations?

It checks DNA for errors during replication.


How does mutations occur during DNA replication and transcription?

RNA polymerase doesn't have a proofreading function.


Which of the following check DNA for errors?

DNA polymerase


How mutations are corrected?

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


Principle enzyme involved in DNA replication?

DNA Polymerase.


What enzymes check for mistakes in replication?

proof reading enzymes, e.g. the exonuclease domain of some DNA polymerases.


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.


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.


Repair of damaged DNA might be viewed as a race between an endonuclease and?

a DNA polymerase. The endonuclease recognizes and cleaves the damaged DNA, creating a site for repair. The DNA polymerase then fills in the gap with the correct nucleotides, restoring the integrity of the DNA molecule. This race determines whether the DNA is successfully repaired or if mutations will persist in the repaired sequence.
