Question

Which of the following would most likely happen if DNA polymerase were not functioning properly during DNA replication?

Any of the nitrogenous bases in the DNA strands would be able to form base pairs with each other.

The new strands of DNA would not be an exact copy of the original DNA.

The two strands of DNA would separate from each other and be unable to reform.

Hydrogen bonding between nitrogenous bases would cause the DNA to fold upon itself.

I think C

Answer 1

I agree with you that it is probably C because polymerase typically acts as a glue. So in the event that it is gone, it only makes sense that connection would be impossible

Answer 2

B option can also be considered because DNA polymerase has proof reading activities .. so the produced strand will have mutations in it if DNA polymerase doesnt function properly.
