DNA polymerase can fill the gaps in the DNA that are left by removal of damage bases. DNA polymerase can help cancer cells to tolerate DNA damage.

Why is biotic potential useful for living things?
As biotic potential keeps them energetic so it would keep them active.
What would happen at molecular level if DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase enzymes collided?
Transcription would not take place, and the protein would not be produced
Make a sentence using the word potential?
As an adjective, potential means possible or capable of being or becoming; as a noun, it means the possibility or a latent ability. If the man had visited the doctor sooner, there would be a potential for a timely diagnosis and he may not have died from skin cancer.
The amount of energy in a chemical that can do useful work is called?
This would be its chemical potential energy, of course it depends on what other chemical(s) it is reacting with, such as oxygen.
Which protein would you need to complete the synthesis of a new strand of DNA?
DNA polymerase

Why would DNA polymerase drugs be useful against cancer?
Hall mark of cancer is genomic instability, in form of mutations or chromosomal aberrations. Genomic instability is failure to maintain genome stable, which was maintained by using proper replication and repair,any imbalance in this can lead to instability. There are many error prone DNA polymerases which are error prone which were evolved to keep cell alive by continuing DNA replication when extensive DNA damage happened. Many cancers have differential expression of various DNA polymerases Example: Up regulation of DNA polymerase theta in Breast cancer
If e. coli DNA polymerase was used instead of thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase in a pcr polymerase chain reaction procedure what would happen?
Unlike Taq DNA polymerase, E.coli DNA polymerase is not heat-stable and will denature during the strand denaturation step of the PCR reaction.
How would RNA polymerase be affected if the repressor protein were not bound to the proper site on a gene?
it will prevent the transcription of rNA polymerase
What would happen at molecular level if DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase enzymes collided?
Transcription would not take place, and the protein would not be produced
Where can I get more information on the different types of skin cancer?
When looking up for different types of Skin cancer or any other form of cancer an appropriate website to use would be www.macmillian.co.uk and also www.cancer.org, these sites are rather useful and can tell you all about different types of cancer, and what to search for.

I'm 17 and want to go to university leading to a career in cancer research what are your suggestions on potential degrees and further steps to take Thanks?
There is a few steps I would take when getting a degree in potential. I would do some study in business and different cultures.
Which protein would you need to complete the synthesis of a new strand of DNA?
DNA polymerase
Which enzyme would probably not be needed for DNA replication?
DNA helicase
What happens to DNA polymerase if the protein is not present?
Dna replication would be 'unsupported' - meaning that it would not take place.
