Answer:
Answer:
The process of DNA replication, in order for cells to divide, is a pretty complex process that requires several enzymes to work. One such enzyme is polymerase, without which the process of DNA replication would not take place. It is polymerase that ensures the creation of a new DNA strand from a template strang, and also, it ensures that coding errors and joining errors, are corrected before a mutated DNA strand in released. Thus, the answers to the questions are as follows:
1. Besides replicating DNA, the other function of DNA polymerase is: B: Correcting errors. Polymerase is the one that adds nucleotides to the formed strands, but also reads the strand to correct errors in the coding system.
2. The polymerase prevents mutation of the DNA because it is able to: B: Repair the DNA by removing the error and then correcting it with new nucleotides.
3. The gene that is responsible for tumor suppression, among the many, is: B: p53. This gene produces protein p53, which prevents the formation of cancerous tumors and also, when it is missing it can lead to cancers such as colon, or leykemia.
4. In the genetical play of replication, the correct steps will always be: DNA, to RNA, to protein. Therefore, the answer here is: C: DNA codes for RNA, which codes for protein.
