Question

During the replication process, polymerase proofreads the DNA molecule so that few mistakes or ___________ occur. A) interferons B) mutations C) oppositions D) vexations

Answer 1

Answer:

B) mutations

Explanation:

Few mutations also take place during the DNA replication process.

However, DNA polymerase also has proofreading property by which it checks for the mismatch bases and corrects it.

Answer 2

Answer:

The correct answer for: During the replication process, polymerase proofreads the DNA molecule so that few mistakes or ___________ occur. Is: B) mutations

Explanation:

To understand this question we need to review all the options after we understand what polymerase is.

First of all, the polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes chains of DNA and RNA. In other words that provide material to unite and copy DNA and RNA chains.

a) is incorrect because interferons are not an effect of DNA or RNA synthesis.

b) It is correct because of polymerase copies and unites the DNA and RNA chains. So, it needs to verify it does it in the best way I cans. Reducing the number of failures or mutations.

c) oppositions are not involved in the process of DNA and RNA synthesis. So, it is incorrect. Also, some oppositions in the DNA alleles will occur if we follow the posture of allele hierarchy.

d) vexations are incorrect because they are not a mistake. They are repetitions and they are meant to be produced to create a new chain.
