DNA constantly undergoes changes. It interacts with proteins that are able to replicate and transcribe it to generate a copy of RNA.

Inactive sites are changed to active sites and active sites are silenced.

DNA can therefore be considered an active polymer

Based on the function of dna polymerase explain why each part of the name dna polymerase make sense?

means it's an enzyme - so it catalyzes a chemical reaction polymer- means it catalyzes the formation of a polymer DNA- means the polymer whose formation it catalyzes is DNA - DNA is a polynucleotide (a polymer of nucleotides, a million nucleotides strung together)

A natural polymer that is the present in all living cells and that plays a role in a protein synthesis?

The natural polymer present in all living cells that plays a role in protein synthesis is RNA (ribonucleic acid). RNA is responsible for carrying the genetic information from DNA to the ribosomes where proteins are synthesized. It acts as a messenger between DNA and the protein-making machinery in the cell.

What is the difference from DNA nucleotide and DNA polymer?

A nucleotide is a single structural unit of DNA. If two or more nucleotides are combined together by a polymerase enzyme, the resulting molecule is a polymer. RNA is also composed of nucleotides and can be formed into polymers.

What makes DNA a polymer?

DNA is a polymer because it is made of up of monomers of nucleotides that differ from each other by their bases. (Adenine, Guanine, Cytosine, and Thymine.)
