Question

Below is a figure comparing CTP on the left and CMP on the right. Based on these structures, and your understanding, which statement(s) below is/are CORRECT? (Choose all that apply.] ++ Deoxycylidine Triphosphate (CTP) Assuming a C was matched incorrectly to an A, the proofreading function of DNA polymerase would release a CMP as a product. Both CTP and CMP may be incorporated into a growing DNA strand by DNA polymerase. Assuming a C was matched incorrectly to an A, the proofreading function of DNA polymerase would release a CTP as a product. Only CMP may be incorporated into a growing DNA strand by DNA polymerase. Only CTP may be incorporated into a growing DNA strand by DNA polymerase.

Answer 1

Answer 1 and 4 correct

DNApolymeraseenzymes use this energy to incorporate deoxycytidine into a newly synthesized strand of DNA. A chemical equation can be written that represents the process:

(DNA)n + dCTP ↔ (DNA)n-C + PPi

That is, dCTP has the PPi (pyrophosphate) cleaved off and the dCMP is incorporated into the DNA strand at the 3' end. Subsequent hydrolysis of the PPi drives the equilibrium of the reaction toward the right side, i.e. incorporation of the nucleotide in the growing DNA chain.

1.Assuming was matched incorrectly to A, the proofreading function of DNA polymerase would release a CMP as a product.

4.Only CMP would be incorporated into a growing DNA strand by DNA polymerase.
