D. react only with DNA.
E. are necessary for recombinant DNA technology.

QUESTION NO. 2 
There is a window in which the effect is primarily on viral replication since AZT is much less effective at competing with dTTP for incorporation by cellular DNA polymerases because of the proofreading ability of DNA polymerases. Proofreading activity co maintain the fidelity of DNA synthesis

A. occurs after the synthesis has been completed.
B. is a function of 3' co 5' exonuclease activity intrinsic to or associated with DNA polymerases.
C. requires the presence of an enzyme separate from the DNA polymerases.
D. removes mismatched bases in the interior of the chain.
E. does nor occur in prokaryotes.
