Answer:

DNA polymerase

Explanation:

The process in which DNA make its copies is called DNA replication.

It is true that DNA do not have any catalytic activity in the cells but there are several enzymes which participate in the process of DNA replication and performs different functions. DNA Polymerase is one of the key enzyme that participate in the process and catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between adjacent nucleotides in the DNA.

Arthur Kornberg in 1956 discovered DNA polymerase along with his colleague in Escherichia coli. DNA Polymerase catalyzes the addition of phosphodiester bonds with the help of formation of hydrogen bonds between the adjacent strands of DNA and build the backbone of DNA. Other functions of DNA polymerase involves  synthesis of DNA from the RNA primers , helps in the elongation of leading strand, and DNA sequencing.

Hence, DNA polymerase is catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between adjacent nucleotides in the DNA.

How did people acquired immunity to a disease before the development of vaccines
djyliett [7]

Answer:

Exposure to the disease

Explanation:

Before vaccines,  the only way to develop immunity to a disease was to be exposed to the disease-causing pathogen without being harmed by it. A good example of this is smallpox, which was also the first vaccine developed. It was noticed that milk maids weren't catching and dying from small pox like everyone else, because they had been exposed to cowpox. This premise was used to create the first vaccine.

Vaccines give you immunity by injecting you with a small amount of a (usually inactive) pathogen. inside your body.  This means your immune system produces antibodies against it. Similar to what happened with the milkmaids.
