BIOMOLECULES AND ENZYMES

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA polymerase enzymes are required for the assembly of the daughter strands along each of the template DNA strands.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA polymerase (DNAP) is a type of enzyme that is responsible for forming new copies of DNA, in the form of nucleic acid molecules. Nucleic acids are polymers, which are large molecules made up of smaller, repeating units that are chemically connected to one another.

Detailed explanation-3: -The primary role of DNA polymerases is to accurately and efficiently replicate the genome in order to ensure the maintenance of the genetic information and its faithful transmission through generations.

Detailed explanation-4: -“DNA Polymerases are a group of enzymes that catalyse the synthesis of DNA during replication.” The main function of DNA polymerases is to duplicate the DNA content of a cell during cell division. They do so by adding nucleotides at 3’-OH group of the growing DNA strand.

Detailed explanation-5: -The template DNA strand and RNA strand are antiparallel. RNA polymerase always builds a new RNA strand in the 5’ to 3’ direction. That is, it can only add RNA nucleotides (A, U, C, or G) to the 3’ end of the strand.
