BIOLOGY TOPIC 7 NUCLEIC ACIDS (HL): Describe the process of polymerisation (w DNA polymerase (III) (4)

Question

Describe the process of polymerisation (w DNA polymerase (III) (4)

Sammy Universe · Accepted Answer

new nucleotides align with complementary pairs as (deoxynucleoside triphosphates)
DNA pol III cleaves 2 phosphates = releases energy
energy is used by enzyme = covalent phosphodiester bond w/ nucleotide chain
5' - 3' direction ON NEW STRAND
