DNA polymerase 1 has 5' - 3' polymerase activity. 5'-3' exonuclease activity and 3'-5' exonuclease activity necessary for DNA replication. Mutations in the gene that encodes DNA polymerase 1 may cause the enzyme to lose its function.  Match the consequence of the lost function mutation to the corresponding lost activity.

DNA polymerase 1 has 5' - 3' polymerase activity. 5'-3' exonuclease activity and 3'-5' exonuclease activity necessary for DNA replication. Mutations in the gene that encodes DNA polymerase 1 may cause the enzyme to lose its function. 

Match the consequence of the lost function mutation to the corresponding lost activity. 

Lost 5'-3' polymerase activity
Lost 5'-3' exonuclease activity
no DNA synthesis to fill gaps caused by removing RNA primers
decreased polymerase fidelity
no double helix denaturation
Answer Bank
Lost 3'-5' exonuclease activity
unstable strand separation within the replication bubble
no RNA primer removal during DNA replication
