Which of the following is not a function of DNA Polymerase III?
A) Polymerization.
B) Ligating the final products.
C) Proofreading.
D) Clamping on to the template.
E) None of these are functions of DNA Polymerase III

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA Polymerase III is primarily responsible for the polymerization of nucleotides in the 5' to 3' direction during DNA replication, proofreading for errors, and clamping onto the DNA template to ensure high processivity. However, ligation of the final products, such as joining Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand, is performed by DNA ligase, not DNA Polymerase III.
