Question

Which of the following would most likely happen if DNA polymerase were not functioning properly during DNA replication?
a. Any of the nitrogenous bases in the DNA strands would be able to form base pairs with each other.
d. Hydrogen bonding between nitrogenous bases would cause the DNA to fold upon itself.
c. The new strands of DNA would not be an exact copy of the original DNA.
d. The two strands of DNA would separate from each other and be unable to reform.

Answer 1

I like c.

Answer 2

u like c or it is c? haha

Answer 3

It's c. DNA polymerase is involved in the propagation of DNA replication. Only C and D involve enzyme activites at all. C in replication and D in transcription. I don't know for certain the name of the enzyme that could screw up "re-zipping" DNA, but I know DNA polymerase is involved in replication, not transcription.

Answer 4

Thank you, i understand now :)
