As stated in the text, bacteriophages have been discovered with the following base substitutions in their DNA:

(a) dUMP completely substituting for dTMP


 (b) 5-hydroxymethyl-dUMP completely substituting for dTMP


 (c) 5-methyl-dCMP completely substituting for dCMP

For any one of these cases, formulate a set of virus-coded enzyme activities that could lead to the observed substitution. Write a balanced equation for each reaction you propose.
