Question

What materials does dna polymerase require in order to synthesize a complete strand of dna? select all that apply. select all that apply. inorganic phosphate 3'-oh end of the new dna strand all four deoxyribonucleotides triphosphates (containing a, c, t, or g) single-stranded dna template atp?

Answer 1

DNA polymerase is an enzyme which is needed for the synthesis of new DNA strand on the old DNA template. In order to synthesize new DNA strand, DNA polymerase requires many other enzymes or molecules such as:
1. All four deoxyribonucleotides triphosphates
2. Single stranded DNA template
3.  Inorganic phosphate 3')H end of new DNA strand

During DNA replication, the double stranded DNA molecules mush unwind and form single stranded structures so the both the strands can be replicated simultaneously.
