Question
Which DNA polymerase is involved in DNA replication?Group of answer choicesDNA polymerase I and DNA polymerase IIDNA polymerase I and DNA polymerase IIIDNA polymerase II and DNA polymerase IIIOnly DNA polymerase III
Solution
DNA polymerase I and DNA polymerase III are involved in DNA replication. DNA polymerase I is responsible for removing the RNA primer and replacing it with DNA. DNA polymerase III is the main enzyme involved in DNA replication, it synthesizes new DNA strands by adding nucleotides to the leading and lagging strands.
