What general mechanism do DNA polymerases use to check the accuracy of DNA replication and identify errors during replication?

PROOFREADING

Explanation:

DNA polymerase sees to the accuracy of replication through the following mechanism.

First, it makes sure that the right nucleotide is inputed in to the growing DNA strand.

Second, it deletes incorrect nucleotides immediately once the incorrect nucleotides are imputed. This is known as mismatch repair.

The vast centre activity of the DNA polymerases function is to perform error checks and correction in the process of replication.

DNA polymerases moves along a singular strand of DNA, while constructing the complementary strand as it goes in the upward direction. The two stranded molecules goes through the DNA polymerase, at the termination of the synthesis -this helps DNA polymerases go through its activity to fix the mispaired bases.
