Removal of single stranded portions produced due to exonucleolytic activity and due to polymerase activity are termed as _____________

Removal of single stranded portions produced due to exonucleolytic activity and due to polymerase activity are termed as _____________ Correct Answer polishing and end filling respectively

The single stranded ends generated due to exonucleolytic activity can either be removed by generating their complementary strand or removing the single stranded overhang. In both cases, it is termed as polishing. Whereas removal of single stranded regions generated because of polymerase activity is termed as end-filling.
