NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -The problem is solved with the help of an enzyme called primase. Primase makes an RNA primer, or short stretch of nucleic acid complementary to the template, that provides a 3’ end for DNA polymerase to work on.

Detailed explanation-3: -Polymerase is located in mitochondria and is responsible for replication of mitochondrial DNA. The other four enzymes are located in the nucleus and are therefore candidates for involvement in nuclear DNA replication.

Detailed explanation-4: -Polymerases are enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of DNA or RNA polymers whose sequence is complementary to the original template, as defined by Watson–Crick base pairing.

Detailed explanation-5: -As for eukaryotes, examples of DNA polymerases are Polymerases , , , , , , , , , , , , and Rev1. Animal cells have DNA polymerases that are responsible for the replication of DNA in nucleus and mitochondria.
