The Energetic Cost of Mismatch Repair. In an E. coli cell, DNA polymerase III makes a rare error and inserts a G opposite an A r
esidue at a position 650 bp away from the nearest GATC sequence. The mismatch is accurately repaired by the mismatch repair system. How many phosphodiester bonds de- rived from deoxynucleotides (dNTPs) are expended during this repair
Sperm motility is the property of the sperms to move properly through the woman's reproductive system during the process of fecundation. The sperms need to move into the female reproductive tract to fertilize the ovum and thus form the egg cell.
