Greetings.
I just have a small question about DNA replication correction.
My textbook states (might contain errors of translation):
Thanks in advance.
I just have a small question about DNA replication correction.
My textbook states (might contain errors of translation):
Now my question is about locating the place of the DNA error. Locating the place of a wrong nucleotide might seem logical, but how can the enzyme locate the place of a missing nucleotide ?1)DNA replication errors include :
--A)Adding nucleotides (more that is supposed to).
--B)Removing nucleotides (from places they are supposed to be in).
--C)Putting nucleotides in wrong places.
2)There are several enzymes that work to correct replication errors, some of them do the following :
--A)Locate the place of the error on the DNA, and cut it out.
--B)Build new nucleotide pairs to come in the place of the cut part
--C)Attach new nucleotides to the DNA in the place of cut
Thanks in advance.
