|
DNA polymerase
|
|
|
Ligase
|
|
|
Helicase

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The primary enzyme involved in this is DNA polymerase which joins nucleotides to synthesize the new complementary strand. DNA polymerase also proofreads each new DNA strand to make sure that there are no errors.
Detailed explanation-2: -The central enzyme involved is DNA polymerase, which catalyzes the joining of deoxyribonucleoside 5′-triphosphates (dNTPs) to form the growing DNA chain.
