What is one reason that there are very few errors in DNA replication?

Biology
1 answer:
Dima020 [189]2 years ago
7 0

Answer: The reason is because DNA polymerase which is the enzyme that catalyzes the synthesis of DNA has a 3'->5' exonuclease activity that double-checks each nucleotide after it is added.

Explanation: The 3'->5' exonuclease activity of DNA polymerase allows the enzyme to double-check and remove a newly added wrong nucleotide. It is highly specific for mismatched base pairs. When the DNA polymerase adds a wrong nucleotide to the growing strand, translocation of the enzyme to the position where the next nucleotide is to be added is halted, but the exonuclease activity of the DNA polymerase removes the incorrectly paired nucleotide so that replication can continue. The process of double-checking a newly added nucleotide and removal of any incorrectly paired nucleotide by the DNA polymerase is called proofreading.

Describe how the schwann cells form the myelin sheath
sergey [27]

Explanation:

The myelin sheath, lipoprotein structure deposited around axons selected in inner nodules, interrupted periodically by Ranvier nodules, allows saltatory, rapid and effective conduction in the nervous system of vertebrates. The cells that construct myelin are the oligodendrocyte in the nervous central nervous system (CNS) and the Schwann cells in the peripheral nervous system. An oligonucleotide myelinates one or more axons, while the Schwann always forms a single myelin internodule. The process of myelination begins when a cell-sheath projection involves the axon and a loose spiral shape around it. Over time the formed layers are compacted by the expulsion of the cytoplasm and the formation of a lamellar structure with thick electrodes bands - derived from the apposition of the cytoplasmic phases of the membranes - and fewer electrodes - derived of the external phases of the membranes.
