The steps of mismatch repair in e. coli replication are given. note that in this case, the mismatch is on the 3 ′ side of the partially methylated dna sequence. complete each of the sentences. not all the terms will be used, and two terms will be used more than once. the template is methylated at 5' 3' sequences; for a short time, the new, complementary strand is not. a dna duplex that has only one methylated strand is forms a complex with muts at the mismatched base pair.
