ligase

|
|
DNA polymerase I
|
|
|
primase
|
|
|
helicase

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -In contrast to DNA synthesis, the synthesis of RNA can initiate de novo, and an enzyme called primase synthesizes short fragments of RNA (e.g., three to ten nucleotides long) complementary to the lagging strand template at the replication fork.
Detailed explanation-2: -Primase is an enzyme that synthesizes short RNA sequences called primers. These primers serve as a starting point for DNA synthesis. Since primase produces RNA molecules, the enzyme is a type of RNA polymerase.
Detailed explanation-3: -the subunit (encoded by the dnaE gene) has the polymerase activity. the subunit (dnaQ) has 3’
