DNA Polymerase helps copy a DNA molecule during the process of what?
PtichkaEL [24]
The DNA polymerases are enzymes that create DNA molecules by assembling nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA. These enzymes are essential to DNA replication and usually work in pairs to create two identical DNA strands from one original DNA molecule. During this process, DNA polymerase “reads” the existing DNA strands to create two new strands that match the existing ones.

Every time a cell divides, DNA polymerase is required to help duplicate the cell’s DNA, so that a copy of the original DNA molecule can be passed to each of the daughter cells. In this way, genetic information is transmitted from generation to generation.

Before replication can take place, an enzyme called helicase unwinds the DNA molecule from its tightly woven form. This opens up or “unzips” the double stranded DNA to give two single strands of DNA that can be used as templates for replication.

DNA polymerase adds new free nucleotides to the 3’ end of the newly-forming strand, elongating it in a 5’ to 3’ direction. However, DNA polymerase cannot begin the formation of this new chain on its own and can only add nucleotides to a pre-existing 3'-OH group. A primer is therefore needed, at which nucleotides can be added. Primers are usually composed of RNA and DNA bases and the first two bases are always RNA. These primers are made by another enzyme called primase.

Although the function of DNA polymerase is highly accurate, a mistake is made for about one in every billion base pairs copied. The DNA is therefore “proofread” by DNA polymerase after it has been copied so that misplaced base pairs can be corrected. This preserves the integrity of the original DNA strand that is passed onto the daughter cells.

Structure of DNA polymerase

The structure of DNA polymerase is highly conserved, meaning their catalytic subunits vary very little from one species to another, irrespective of how their domains are structured. This highly conserved structure usually indicates that the cellular functions they perform are crucial and irreplaceable and therefore require rigid maintenance to ensure their evolutionary advantage.

Which of the following lists steps of mRNA production in eukaryotes in the correct order?A) 5' cap addition, addition of poly-A
Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

The correct answer is B) Transcription, 5' cap addition, addition of poly-A tail, exon splicing, passage through nuclear membrane.

Explanation:

The transcription process in eukaryotes takes place in the nucleus of the cell and after transcription post-transcriptional modification also takes place in the nucleus which is necessary to guide the mRNA out of the nucleus.

First, the process of transcription takes place in which DNA is transcribed to mRNA by an enzyme called RNA polymerase. After transcription post-transcriptional modifications takes place in the given order.

1. Capping: In capping process 7-methylguanosine is added by capping enzyme at 5' end of mRNA.

2. Polyadenylation: In polyadenylation, many poly-A residues are added at the 3' end of the mRNA called the poly-A tail.

3. Intron splicing: Introns are the non-coding sequence present in mRNA which are spliced out of mRNA and all exons are joined together.

After these post-transcriptional process, the mature mRNA is transported out of the nucleus through the nuclear membrane.
