The enzyme___ adds three nucleotides of DNA in the ___direction when DNA is being semi-conservatively replicated

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA polymerase III adds nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction during DNA replication. Therefore, option C, where DNA polymerase III adds three nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction, is the correct choice. Option A and B are incorrect because DNA polymerase III, not DNA polymerase I, is responsible for adding nucleotides during semi-conservative DNA replication. Option D is incorrect because it suggests that DNA polymerase I, not III, adds nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction. Option E is incorrect because a correct answer choice was provided.
