Which DNA polymerase is in charge of repairing the gaps created by DNA repair?
Posted August 15, 2024
Answer
In DNA repair processes, DNA polymerase I plays a crucial role by filling in gaps that remain after damage has been fixed. Once the damaged sections of DNA are removed, DNA polymerase I inserts the correct nucleotides into these gaps, completing the repair and restoring the DNA strand. DNA ligase is responsible for joining the gaps between DNA fragments.
