a.With  subunit, the holoenzyme worked equally well on both intact as well as nicked types of DNA

b.With  subunit, the holoenzyme worked unequally on both intact as well as nicked types of DNA

c.Core subunit α2ββσ can not perform polymerization on to the intact DNA while perform some of the activity on to the nicked DNA

d.Core subunit α2ββσ can not perform polymerization on to the intact DNA AS WELL AS  to the nicked DNA

Use the following information to answer the question. In order to test how sea urchin sperm bind to eggs, scientists isolated the egg receptor protein that binds to the sperm acrosomal protein called bindin. Plastic beads were coated with egg receptor for bindin (ERB1) from eggs of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus purpuratus, and then the beads mixed with sperm from S. purpuratus or from the related species, S. franciscanus. The researchers counted how many sperm were bound to each bead. The results are shown in the graph below. Treatments:

A: S. purpuratus sperm mixed with S. purpuratus ERB1 beads

B: S. purpuratus sperm mixed with beads containing no ERB1 protein

C: S. franciscanus sperm mixed with S. purpuratus ERB1 beads

D: S. franciscanus sperm mixed with beads containing no ERB1 protein
