Question

What would happen if growing dna did not have 3prime end free?

Answer 1

Answer:

DNA pol uses the energy provided by hydrolysis of the high-energy phosphate bond at the 5' end of the incoming nucleotide to add it to the 3' end of the growing DNA. ... Without the high-energy phosphate bond, the correct nucleotide can not be added. Without proofreading, life wouldn't be good.
