हिन्दी Which of the following statement is correct regarding the process of replication in E.coli?
- The DNA dependent DNA polymerase catalyses polymerization in \( 5' \rightarrow 3' \) as well as \( 3' \rightarrow 5' \) direction.
- The DNA dependent DNA polymerase catalyses polymerization in \( 5' \rightarrow 3' \) direction.
- The DNA dependent DNA polymerase catalyses polymerization in one direction that is \( 3' \rightarrow 5' \).
- The DNA dependent RNA polymerase catalyses polymerization in one direction, that is \( 5' \rightarrow 3' \).
Correct answer · Option 2
The DNA dependent DNA polymerase catalyses polymerization in \( 5' \rightarrow 3' \) direction.
Explanation
The DNA-dependent DNA polymerase catalyzes the polymerization of deoxynucleotides only in one direction, which is \( 5' \rightarrow 3' \).
