Q. Select the incorrect statement
A) The substrate for replication in E. coli is droxyribonucleoside triphosphate.
B) The three phosphate groups of deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate provide energy for polymerization reaction.
C) Any mistake during replication would result in mutation.
D) The replication occurs within a small opening of DNA instead of its entire length.
Explanation
In deoxyribonucleoside triphosphate, only two terminal phosphates are of high energy and they provide energy for polymerization reaction. Thus, the functioning of these two terminal phosphates is similar to ATP.
