DNA pol Flashcards
1
Q
replicates and repairs mitochondiral DNA
A
Pol γ (gamma)
2
Q
forms complex with pol subunits to act as a primase (synthesizing RNA primer)
A
Pol α (alpha)
3
Q
exonuclease function; involved in lagging stand synthesis
A
Pol δ (delta)
4
Q
exonuclease function; synthesizes the leading strand
A
Pol ε (epsilon)
5
Q
DNA repair (base excison and gap filling)
A
Pol β (beta)
6
Q
non-homologous end joining repair
A
Pol λ and μ (lambda and mu)
