DNA Polymerase III ________.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA Polymerase III is the main polymerase that adds new nucleotides to the growing DNA strand during replication in prokaryotes. It also has exonuclease activity, allowing it to proofread and correct errors as it synthesizes the new DNA. The synthesis of primers is carried out by other enzymes, such as Primase. DNA Polymerase I is responsible for removing primers, and DNA ligase is responsible for joining Okazaki fragments. Unzipping the DNA helix is carried out by helicase.
