Questions and Answers

What is the role of the 3’ to 5’ exonuclease subunit of DNA polymerase during DNA replication?

  • It recognizes and corrects mismatch nucleotides
  • It creates mismatch nucleotides
  • It replaces RNA primer gap with DNA
  • It proofreads and corrects mismatch errors (correct)
  • What is the defense mechanism used when DNA polymerase fails to correct mismatch errors during DNA replication?

  • DNA translation system
  • DNA replication system
  • DNA transcription system
  • DNA repair system (correct)
  • What is the consequence of the DNA mismatch repair system failing to correct a mismatch error during DNA replication?

  • It corrects the error in the next replication cycle
  • It has no effect on the DNA sequence
  • It creates a temporary mutation
  • It creates a permanent mutation (correct)
