The following sentences describe the process of DNA replication. Identify the enzymes that participate in replication processes.

The following sentences describe the process of DNA replication. Identify the enzymes that participate in replication processes. DNA partially unwinds as the hydrogen bonds between complementary bases are broken. An appropriate nucleotide triphosphate forms a hydrogen bond with an exposed base on the DNA strand. As another nucleotide triphosphate arrives to form a hydrogen bond at the next base, a bond forms between the 3' OH group of the first nucleotide and the 5' phosphate group of the new nucleotide. During this process, two phosphate groups are removed. This process is catalyzed by the enzyme This process is catalyzed by the enzyme Because replication takes place in the 5' to 3' direction only, the lagging strand consists of short 5' to 3' segments called Okazaki fragments. The Okazaki fragments are joined together by the enzyme

Explanation / Answer

the enzyme responsible for this is helicase

DNA polymerase

DNA ligase joins
