DNA polymerase is an enzyme required in DNA replication. Its role is to synthesize DNA, adding individual nucleotides to each strand of newly synthesized DNA with the help of other enzymes such as primase and ligase. There are several families of DNA polymerase in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, but through different species, portions of DNA polymerase are highly conserved. What do you think is the evolutionary significance of DNA polymerase? What do you think would happen if there was a genetic mutation on the genes encoding for DNA polymerase?
A sample answer would look like this: The DNA polymerase has evolutionary significance because it is required for DNA to be transmitted across generations. A genetic mutation in a gene encoding for DNA polymerase could lead to significant flaws in DNA replication, which could lead to major flaws in the DNA replicated for cell division. This could lead to large-scale errors and result in the death of the organism.

You are studying a protein that you call protein x. there is an aspartic acid at a key position in protein x which is important in the folding and stabilization of that protein. if this aspartic acid is changed to a different amino acid, which type of amino acid substitutions is most likely to allow the protein to fold normally?
