What if the gene encoding DNA polymerase I was mutated in a way that the enzyme is non-functional?

Would it affect the synthesis of the leading strand?

How about the lagging strand?

1. Why does E. coli need both DNA polymerase III and DNA polymerase I? a. The DNA replication is bidirectional; one polymerase is used for each direction. b. Each polymerase is specific for only one strand of DNA. DNA polymerase III acts only on the leading strand, and DNA polymerase I acts only on the lagging strand. c. Only DNA polymerase I has proofreading ability. d. DNA polymerase III lacks the 5' → 3' exonuclease activity needed to remove RNA...

Question: DNA polymerase III is the main DNA-synthesizing enzyme in bacteria. Describe how it carries out its role of elongating a strand of DNA. Answer: DNA pol III determines which free nucleotide triphosphate is complementary to the base being copied. DNA pol III catalyzes phosphodiester bond formation between the alpha phosphate of the incoming nucleotide triphosphate and the 3’ hydroxyl group of the last nucleotide added to the strand. Can someone please explain this step by step in a dumbed...
