how does DNA polymerase help maintain the accuracy of DNA replication
Added by Charles S.
Step 1
Step 1: **Binding to the DNA template**: DNA polymerase binds to the DNA template at the replication fork, where the DNA strands are separated and the replication process is initiated. Show more…

how is the accuracy of DNA replication is maintained?
Which one of the following statements does not account for why DNA replication by DNA polymerase III is highly accurate? The DNA polymerase has the ability to change the structure of the base order to form the correct bond. The hydrogen bonding between purines and pyrimidines is stable. The DNA polymerase is unlikely to form bonds between nucleotides when they are mismatched. The DNA polymerase has exonuclease functions.
