Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A student isolates, purifies, and combines in a test tube a variety of molecules needed for DNA replication. After adding some DNA to the mixture, replication occurs, but each DNA molecule consists of a normal strand paired with numerous segments of DNA a few hundred nucleotides long. What has the student probably left out of the mixture?
A
DNA polymerase
B
DNA ligase
C
Okazaki fragments
D
primase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When she adds some DNA to the mixture, replication occurs, but each DNA molecule consists of a normal strand paired with numerous segments of DNA a few hundred nucleotides long. What has she probably left out of the mixture? DNA polymerase.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA preliminaries can join new nucleotides only to the three prime end of a preexisting strands and the strands are anti parallel. This will provide the basis for a the leading and lagging strands of D. N. A. B. Formation of Okazaki fragments C.

Detailed explanation-3: -DNA helicases are essential during DNA replication because they separate double-stranded DNA into single strands allowing each strand to be copied.

Detailed explanation-4: -Abstract. DNA polymerase III holoenzyme (Pol III HE) is an enzyme that catalyzes elongation of DNA chains during bacterial chromosomal DNA replication.

Detailed explanation-5: -Before a cell divides, it duplicates its DNA in a copying process called replication. This process ensures that each resulting cell has the same complete set of DNA molecules.
