Perfect Paragraph - Week 2

Submitted by sditelberg on Thu, 09/13/2018 - 23:52

In DNA replication, the enzyme RNA primase adds a RNA primer to both DNA strands available. These primers serve as a basis for DNA polymerase III to bind to in order to begin adding new base pairs. DNA polymerase III works along both strands of parent DNA, not only adding new bases but also proofreading along the way by removing incorrect ones and replacing them with the correct ones. Once both strands have been replicated, DNA polymerase I replaces the initial RNA primers with the corresponding DNA sequence. A final molecule, DNA ligase, works to seal the gaps between any remaining base pairs.

Very straight to the point. My only suggestion might be to change the wording of the third sentence so that it might flow better. 

Good paragraph, you hit the important topics and got right to the point. I would put a sentence in here briefly describing what DNA replication is to give some background context for this process.
