Answer :
Answer:
In bacterial DNA replication of the lagging strand,DNA polymerase III is required for the synthesis of a new DNA strand.
whereas DNA polymerase I is required for removing the RNA primer and replacing it with DNA nucleotides.
Explanation:
Replication: is a process by which two identical copies of DNA are produced from the original DNA molecule.
Bacterial DNA replication take place in three steps
- Initiation
- elongation
- termination.
DNA polymerase III is an enzyme that is responsible for DNA synthesis in bacteria and to carry out the '5-3' polymerase function.
DNA polymerase consists of
- pol III core: carry the polymerase activity and proofreading activity of the nucleotides which are mispaired.
- beta sliding clamp: increase the DNA synthesis rate.
- clamp loading complex. promote DNA replication.
DNA polymerase I: function is to join the Okazaki fragments by removing the RNA primer and replacing it with nucleotides and to repair the damage the DNA.
