An appropriate dNTP forms a hydrogen bond with an exposed base on the template strand. The next dNTP forms a bond between the 3' OH group of the 1st nucleotide and the 5' phosphate of the 2nd nucleotide. The enzyme responsible for catalyzing formation of this bond is:

DNA Polymerase.

Explanation:

DNA polymerase is an enzyme that is responsible for the production and synthesis of DNA from deoxyribonucleotides.

DNA polymerase is also involved in the replication process of DNA.

DNA polymerase exists in 3 forms: DNA Polymerase I , DNA Polymerase II, DNA Polymerase III.

DNA polymerase is responsible for catalyzing the reaction in the formation a bond between the 3' OH group of the 1st nucleotide and the 5' phosphate of the 2nd nucleotide.

bacteria could be both, harmful and to us. harmful bacteria could make us sick and probably even by getting the chances of getting a disease, but good bacteria fight it off with your immune system. there is always bacteria everywhere we go. we need to make sure to wash our hands after using the restroom, before eating, after eating, after petting an animal too. so you see, bacteria is everywhere and is harmful or . i hope this . : ) : ) : )
