It's the DNA polymerase that catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between the nucleotides during replication.

Which assembles the complementary nucleotide bases during replication?

DNA Polymerase


Which enzyme assembles the complementary nucleotide bases during replication?

DNA polymerase is responsible for assembling complementary nucleotide bases during DNA replication. It adds nucleotides to the growing DNA strand using the existing strand as a template.


What enzyme assembles the complimentary nucleotide bases during replication?

THat would be the enzyme DNA Polymerase III which attaches free floating nucleotides to the parent strand. But remember, they can only be attached to a free 3' position!


Why is the replication process is a source of few mutations?

Some mutations are due to errors in DNA replication. During the replication process, DNA polymerase chooses complementary nucleotide triphosphates from the cellular pool. Then the nucleotide triphosphate is converted to a nucleotide monophosphate and aligned with the template nucleotide. A mismatched nucleotide slips through this selection process only onece per 100,000 base pairs at most. The mismatched nucleotide causes a pause in replication, during which it is excised from the daughter strand and replaced with the correct nucleotide. After this so-called proofreading has occurred, the error rate is only one per 1 billion base pairs.


What kind of mutation will result from the mistake made during DNA replication in the nucleotide sequence?

a nonsense mutation


During DNA replication the wrong nucleotide was inserted in the DNA sequence what terms describes this situation mutation regeneration transcription or translation?

The term that describes the situation where the wrong nucleotide was inserted during DNA replication is mutation. Mutations can result from errors in DNA replication, environmental factors, or spontaneous changes in the genetic material.


What kind of mutation will result from the mistake made during DNA replication in the nucleotide sequence above?

The specific type of mutation resulting from a mistake during DNA replication will depend on the nature of the mistake and the type of nucleotide substitution that occurred. Some possible types of mutations include point mutations (such as a substitution, insertion, or deletion of a single nucleotide), frameshift mutations, or silent mutations.


What is the mode of action of nucleoside and nucleotide analogs?

Nucleoside and nucleotide analogs inhibit viral replication by incorporating into the viral genome during replication. These analogs lack the necessary functional groups for further elongation of the viral genome, leading to termination of viral replication and inhibition of viral protein synthesis. This disruption ultimately stops the virus from spreading and replicating.


What process of two rails or sides break apart and attract new nucleotide bases to form a new and complete strand?

The process you're referring to is DNA replication. During DNA replication, the two sides of the double helix molecule unwind, creating two separate strands. Enzymes then attract new nucleotide bases to each strand, forming two new and identical DNA molecules.


Why is it necessary to add a nucleotide during dna replication?

DNA itself is made up of nucleotides. Nucleotides links with each other to form a DNA chain. In the process of DNA replication, parent DNA strand needs to be duplicated. Hence, to make a new strand of DNA it requires nucleotides.


True or false After replication the nucleotide sequences in both DNA molecules are identical to each other and to the original DNA molecule?

True. After replication, the nucleotide sequences in both DNA molecules are indeed identical to each other and to the original DNA molecule. This ensures that genetic information is accurately duplicated during cell division.


Which enzyme is responsible for making a polymer of DNA by adding one nucleotide monomer at a time?

DNA polymerase is the enzyme responsible for adding nucleotide monomers one at a time to the growing DNA strand during replication.
