E.Coli DNa Pol III consists of a 5'3' polymerase activity and a 3'5' proofreading activity. lets assume that a novel mutation results in a defective DNA Pol III, which can normally Polymerize nucleotides But can't proofread accurately. This error prone polymerase may result in one mistake per 100 base pairs. In order to prevent extensive damage to the genome, the micro must recruit a DNA repair mechanism. The microbe should be able to identify the newly synthesized strand of DNA and make the needed repairs. Using your knowledge of the DNA repair mechanisms answer the following questions.

a. which repair mechanism would be most suitable for this type of fixing?

b. how does the repair system recognize the parental strand with the correct code?

c. Which enzymes will help make the correction? Explain the process
