Accidental errors during replication are corrected by the DNA proofreading activity intrinsic to:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA polIII is the main polymerase responsible for replicating DNA in prokaryotes and has an intrinsic proofreading activity that can identify and correct errors during replication. DNA polI also has proofreading activity, but it is not the main polymerase used in replication. DNA polII, IV, and V are not involved in replication or proofreading.
