Enzyme involved in DNA Replication
DNA polymerase
1 of 6
During DNA replication the ______ in formed continously
Leading strand
2 of 6
The lagging strand is replicated in fragments that must be joined by an enzyme______
Ligase
3 of 6
a ____ is a short strand of nucleotides which binds to the 3' end of the template DNA strand allowing DNA Polymerase to add DNA Nucleotides
Primer
4 of 6
What role does DNA polymerase play in the replication of DNA?
To add DNA nucleotides to the 3' of the growing strand
5 of 6
What does this expain; This is because the primer binding at the 3' end of the template strand causes DNA Polymerase to add free DNA nucleotides to the 3' end of the new strand which is moving away from the replication fork.
Why the lagging strand is replicated in fragments
