DNA polymerase is responsible for adding nucleotides to the growing DNA strand in a 5' to 3' direction, using the template strand as a guide to ensure that the new strand is complementary to the template.

Small nuclear RNA (snRNA) is not a type of RNA molecule, but rather a type of small non-coding RNA that is involved in the processing of pre-messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) into mature mRNA.

The central dogma of molecular biology states that the information in DNA is transcribed into RNA, which is then translated into protein. This flow of information from DNA to RNA to protein is essential for the expression of genetic information.

Transversion is not a type of DNA mutation. Substitution, deletion, and insertion are the three main types of DNA mutations.

The ribosome is a complex molecular machine that assembles amino acids into a polypeptide chain according to the genetic code carried by messenger RNA (mRNA).

Transcription is the process by which DNA is copied into RNA. During transcription, an enzyme called RNA polymerase binds to the DNA template strand and synthesizes a complementary RNA strand.

Polysaccharide is not a type of genetic material. DNA and RNA are the two main types of genetic material, while protein is a type of macromolecule that is essential for the structure and function of cells.

Translation is the process by which RNA is translated into protein. During translation, a ribosome binds to the mRNA template strand and reads the genetic code in a 5' to 3' direction, using transfer RNA (tRNA) molecules to bring the appropriate amino acids to the ribosome.

RNA polymerase IV is not a type of RNA polymerase. RNA polymerase I, II, and III are the three main types of RNA polymerase in eukaryotes.

Helicase is the enzyme that unwinds the DNA double helix during replication. This enzyme breaks the hydrogen bonds between the two strands of DNA, allowing the DNA polymerase to access the template strand and synthesize a new complementary strand.

Recombination repair is not a type of DNA repair mechanism. Base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, and mismatch repair are the three main types of DNA repair mechanisms.

Condensation is the process by which DNA is packaged into chromosomes. This process involves the coiling and folding of DNA around proteins called histones, resulting in the formation of compact structures called nucleosomes.

Epigenetic modification is not a type of genetic variation. Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), insertion/deletion polymorphism (InDel), and copy number variation (CNV) are all types of genetic variation.

Gene transfer is the process by which genetic material is transferred from one organism to another. This process can occur through a variety of mechanisms, including horizontal gene transfer, vertical gene transfer, and transduction.

Epigenetic regulation is not a type of gene regulation. Transcriptional regulation, translational regulation, and post-translational regulation are the three main types of gene regulation.
