5.Molecular Basis of Inheritance
hard
Depending upon the chemical nature of the template $(DNA$ or $RNA)$ and the nature of nucleic acids synthesised from it $(DNA$ or $RNA)$, list the types of nucleic acid polymerases.
Option A
Option B
Option C
Option D
Solution
There are two different types of nucleic acid polymerases
$DNA-$ dependent $DNA$ polymerases
$DNA-$ dependent $RNA$ polymerases
The $DNA-$ dependent $DNA$ polymerases use a $DNA$ template for synthesizing a new strand of $DNA$, whereas $DNA-$ dependent $RNA $ polymerases use a $DNA$ template strand for synthesizing $RNA$.
