The following sequence contains a mismatch due to a mistake byDNA polymerase while it was replicating the template strand.
Templatestrand: 5’AGCCTAGTGCTAATC 3’
Newly replicated strand: 3’TCGGATCACGCTTAG 5’
Which of the following statements is FALSE?
| A. |
In bacteria, mismatch repair uses methylation of the templatestrand to determine which nucleotide to replace. |
|
| B. |
In eukaryotes, mismatch uses the misincorporation ofribonucleotides into the newly synthesized strand to determinewhich nucleotide to replace. |
|
| C. |
Mismatch repair increases the fidelity of DNA replication. |
|
| D. |
Mismatched bases create a distortion in the DNA that is detectedby mismatch repair proteins. |
|
| E. |
Mismatch repair will replace the T on the template strand withG. |
