Question

What would be the consequences if an organism stopped producing DNA polymerase?

Answer 1

If it stopped a mutation will occur.

Answer 2

The correct answer will be- DNA replication process will stop and no new DNA will be synthesized.

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA polymerase is an enzyme associated with the synthesis of the new strand of DNA from the one strand of DNA during DNA replication.DNA replication catalyses the reaction of synthesis of DNA strand by gaining energy from the ATP molecule.

If an organism will stop producing the DNA polymerase enzyme then the cell will not be able to produce a new strand of DNA from the template strand and therefore no new DNA strand will be synthesized and DNA replication process will stop.

Thus, the DNA replication process will stop and no new DNA will be synthesized is the correct answer.
