A lethal mutation occurs in a bacterium

Reference no: EM13527097

A lethal mutation occurs in a bacterium, rendering it incapable of replicating it's chromosome. Because of this mutation, DNA synthesis produces many short fragments of DNA that have RNA sequences at their 5' ends. The mutation is most likely in a gene encoding which of the following?

a. DNA gyrase
b. DNA helicase
c. DNA ligase
d. DNA polyremase 1
e. Primase
