Question
Energy that drives the attachment of a nucleotide to the end of a growing strand of DNA comes froma. the nucleotidec. DNA polymeraseb. phosphate-group transfers from ATP
Step 1
This process requires energy, which comes from the nucleotide itself. Specifically, the energy comes from the release of a pyrophosphate group (two phosphate groups) from the nucleotide during the bonding process. This release of pyrophosphate provides the energy Show more…
