Which enzyme catalyzes the elongation (synthesis) of a dna strand in the 5' → 3' direction?

1 answer:

5 0

A DNA strand is lengthened in the 5'-3' direction by DNA polymerase. And this process is known as the elongation.

What are the properties of DNA Polymerase?

Using the DNA template strand and a starting primer, an enzyme known as (DNA-dependent) DNA polymerase creates a new DNA strand in the 5' to 3' direction.
The growing synthesized DNA strand is supplemented by the DNA polymerase with complementary nucleotides one at a time. Base-pairing is the process by which the complementary sets of nucleotides are joined to the bases of the template DNA strand.
Some DNA polymerases also possess 3'-5' exonuclease activity, which checks DNA strands for replication mistakes.

Which sentences describe the differences between photosynthesis and cellular respiration

katrin [286]

The difference is that photosynthesis occurs in the chloroplasts and cellular respiration occurs in the mitochondria. Another difference is the reactants for photosynthesis are different than the reactants for cellular respiration. One more difference is in photosynthesis you capture Energy from the sun and change it into food and cellular respiration is the process by which cells use oxygen to break down food and produce.
