, QUESTION 1
[15]
Discuss, with the aid of diagrams, how these
nucleotides (2'-deoxyguanosine-5'-triphosphate;
2'-deoxycytidine-5'-triphosphate and 2'-
deoxythymidine-5'-triphosphate) are linked
together to form a polynucleotide during the
polymerisation process.
QUESTION 1 [15 Marks]
Discuss, with the aid of diagrams, how these
nucleotides (2'-deoxyguanosine-5'-triphosphate;
2'-deoxycytidine-5'-triphosphate and 2'-
deoxythymidine-5'-triphosphate) are linked
together to form a polynucleotide during the
polymerisation process.
During DNA polymerization, nucleotides are linked
together by phosphodiester bonds to form a
polynucleotide chain. This process occurs during
DNA replication and is catalyzed by the enzyme
DNA polymerase.
