Answer #1

5'-3' exonuclease and 5'-3' polymerase :

Replication is initiated by DNA polymerase in the 5'- 3' direction with the help of an RNA primer and is finally replaced with DNA. During the termination of replication there is a need to join the newly synthesized DNA strand with the existing RNA primer in the 5'- 3' direction. Hence to remove the RNA primer with the ongoing DNA strand, a polymerase with 5'-3' exonuclease which can remove RNA in the 5'- 3' direction is necessary.

    4. The enzyme DNA polymerase has two important activities: 5-10-3 polymerase and 3 '-10-5'exonuclease. The 5'-to-3' polymerase makes one misincorporation per 100,000 incorporations. A misincorporation occurs when the "wrong" nucleotide-residue is added to the growing DNA-molecule, such that the added residue is NOT complementary in the normal Watson-Crick way (G with C, A with T) to the residue in the template DNA. Normally, the 3'-to-5'exonuclease corrects most of these misincorporations, reducing the misincorporation rate to one in 10,000,000. If a...
