Zoology - Molecular Basis of Inheritance Question with Solution | TestHub

Watson and Crick suggested the double helical structure of DNA. Semiconservative nature of DNA replication was proved by Messelson and Stahl by using heavy isotope of nitrogen $\left({}^{15}\mathrm{N}\right)$. DNA polymerase III establishes phosphodiester linkages between the adjacent deoxyribo-nucleoside phosphate in presence of ATP/GTP, TPP and ${\mathrm{Mg}}^{2+}$. It produces a new strand of DNA. DNA polymerase binds nucleotides in 5'-3' direction.
