Question
The failure to do this process properly activates the “9-1-1” complex. John Cairns’ experiments on this process in E. coli identified a structure that resembles the letter theta, which helped identify this process as bidirectional. The extremely high fidelity of this process is assisted by repair enzymes MutS and MutL which associate with PCNA, a (*) clamp that improves the processivity of this task. Max Delbrück’s dispersive hypothesis of this process was debunked in favor of the semiconservative hypothesis after the Meselson-Stahl experiment. A primer is needed to begin this process, which occurs in a namesake fork created by unwinding from helicases. DNA polymerase mediates, for 10 points, what process that duplicates the genome? ■END■
