Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the role of DNA polymerase in DNA repair?
  • Step 1: DNA can get damaged due to various factors like UV light or chemicals.
  • Step 2: When DNA is damaged, the cell needs to fix it to prevent problems.
  • Step 3: Special proteins recognize the damaged part of the DNA.
  • Step 4: These proteins signal for DNA polymerase to come to the damaged area.
  • Step 5: DNA polymerase starts working by adding new DNA nucleotides to replace the damaged ones.
  • Step 6: This process helps to create a new, correct DNA strand.
  • Step 7: Once the new DNA is made, the cell can continue to function properly.
