Question

DNA polymerase is a transterase which catalyzes the addition of nucleotides to a growing nucleic acid strand. The image below represents the reaction by which a nuclectide is added to a growing chain. Which of the following statements regarding this image is/are true? .ase ?? O" if this represents DNA, the basos ATP, UTP, GTP and CTP are used to build the new strand the phosphodiester linkage between nucleotides in strand is between the 2'& 3' carbons if tho 02 nucleotide is adenine, then the next nucleotide added must be thymine Oi a tomplate base is a purine, the new base acddod to it is a pyrimidine 3' direction by DNA polymerase the template strand is read in a 5

Explanation / Answer

Answer: If a template base is purine, the new base added to it is a pyrimidine

Explanation:

DNA does not contain UTP.

The phosphodiester linkage between nuclotide in strand is between 3' and 5'.
