Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What is the name of the enzyme used during DNA replication?
A
RNA polymerase
B
DNA polymerase
C
DNA helicase
D
RNA ligase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The central enzyme involved is DNA polymerase, which catalyzes the joining of deoxyribonucleoside 5′-triphosphates (dNTPs) to form the growing DNA chain.

Detailed explanation-2: -One of the key molecules in DNA replication is the enzyme DNA polymerase. DNA polymerases are responsible for synthesizing DNA: they add nucleotides one by one to the growing DNA chain, incorporating only those that are complementary to the template.

Detailed explanation-3: -Solution : DNA polymerase, DNA ligase, Helicase and Topoisomerase.

Detailed explanation-4: -DNA polymerase (DNAP) is a type of enzyme that is responsible for forming new copies of DNA, in the form of nucleic acid molecules. Nucleic acids are polymers, which are large molecules made up of smaller, repeating units that are chemically connected to one another.

Detailed explanation-5: -DNA polymerase III holoenzyme is the primary enzyme involved in DNA replication in E. coli and belongs to family C polymerases. It consists of three assemblies: the pol III core, the beta sliding clamp processivity factor, and the clamp-loading complex.
