What happens if DNA pol 1 is nonfunctional in the replicated genome?

If DNA pol 1 is nonfunctional, it can lead to errors in the DNA replication process, leading to mutations or incomplete DNA replication. This can affect the accuracy and stability of the genetic information passed on to daughter cells.


What is the enzyme responsible for attaching free floating nucleotides to an open strand of DNA for replication?

DNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for attaching free floating nucleotides to an open strand of DNA during replication. It adds nucleotides in a specific order dictated by the template DNA strand.


Why DNA pol needs 3'OH to attach new nucleotide?

DNA polymerase requires a 3'OH group to attach a new nucleotide because it catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond between the incoming nucleotide and the existing DNA chain. The 3'OH group provides the necessary chemical linkage for the new nucleotide to join the DNA chain during replication.


Which enzyme is the key player in replication?

In prokaryotes: DNA gyrase - a topoisomerase II protein that introduces negative supercoils in the DNA to reduce torsional stressDNA helicase - breaks the hydrogen bonds between nucleotides and unzips the DNA double helixSingle stranded binding proteins - stabilize DNA be keeping the DNA strands from reannealingDNA Polymerase III - polymerizes nucleotides forming a new DNA strandLoading clamp - loads the DNA strand into pol IIIDNA Primase - lays down an RNA primer on the lagging strandDNA Polymerase I - replaces RNA primer with DNADNA Ligase - ligates DNA strand together on the lagging strandIn eukaryotes:DNA Pol III is replaced by DNA Pol DeltaPol I is replaced by Pol AlphaRPA - replication protein A replaces the SSBsRFC - replication factor C replaces DNA loading clampPCNA replaces the beta subunit
