Which of these is not a function of dna polymerase a,) adding base pairs b.) correcting errors c.) unwinding the helix d.) replicating the dna strand

a) adding base pairs

c) unwinding the helix

there are possible two correct answers for this question.

dna polymerase doesn’t add base pairs, it adds single nucleotides which are complentar to coding strand . also dna polymerase can’t unwind the dna helix alone. dna helicase can do that, using energy derived from atp hydrolysis.

dna polymerase are enzymes that synthesize dna molecules from deoxyribonucleotides. these enzymes replicate the dna strand and create two identical dna strands from a single original dna molecule. some of dna polymerases have a function of correcting erros which are made during replication and this process is called proofreading. if the dna polymerase detects that incorrectly paired nucleotide has been added, it will remove and replace the wrong nucleotide.

atomic number of carbon is 6

electronic configuration of carbon is 1s²2s²2p²

orbital diagram of c is as shown here in the image.

space exploration has led to the development and technological improvement of many everyday items. (if this answer is wrong i will find the right answer) : )
