Viral Replication

The virus is acellular and considered non-living outside the host cell. The replication of the virus occurs only inside the living cells. Only a few genes are present in the smallest virus, whereas many genes are present in the largest virus. These genes encode specific viral proteins.

Question

a) Explain how the molecular mechanism of DNA polymerase enhances DNA replication.

b) Discuss the characteristic of DNA polymerase 1,

Nick translation
Proofreading

Definition Definition Mechanism by which deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) is capable of producing an exact copy of itself. DNA molecules utilize a semiconservative method for replication. DNA replication is the most essential part of biological inheritance and is crucial for cell division during growth and repair of damaged tissues.
