The answer is proofreading feature of DNA polymerase.  As the DNA polymerase III replicates DNA, it has a proofreading mechanism in one of the subunits of the holoenzyme. This subunit detects a bad conformation in the double helix when the wrong base pair is placed. In this case, the DNA polymerase III backs up a bit and waits for the exonuclease to nick out the misplaced base.

Suppose the size of a population of marmots is 300. According to genetic drift theory, what is the probability that a newly aris
arsen [322]

Answer:

E. 1/600

Explanation:

Hint:

The probability of fixation of a new neutral mutation is 1/(2N)

Given N as 300

= 1/(2×300)

=1/600

Therefore,

1/600 gives a sure fixation of one allele from the large population

Stells [14]

Species X and species Z belong to the domain.

Answer: Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Species which belong to the same domain, they also belong to the same kingdom and also to the same phylum. These species are very similar to each other and can also produce offspring together.

In the information given, species X and species Y belong to the same domain. The next column says that the species Y and species Z also belong to the same domain. So species X and species Z will also belong to the same domain.
