- Quick help Only cell biology Which process is described in the following paragraph? During DNA synthesis, before the enzyme adds the next nucleotide to a growing DNA strand, it checks whether the previously added nucleotide is correctly base-paired to the template strand. If so, the polymerase adds the next nucleotide; if not, the polymerase clips off the mispaired nucleotide and tries again. This is carried out by cleaving the phosphodiester backbone using the enzyme’s 3’-to-5’ exonuclease activity.arrow_forwardIn α-helices - what is the length of the hydrogen bonds between: TYR41H and GLU37O ALA39H and MET35O GLU38H and ILE34O THR36H and ARG32O.
