Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What are the 4 key players in DNA Replication?
A
Helicase, Primase, DNA Polymerase, Ligase
B
Melpicase, Helicase, Primase, Qintopace
C
Dopicase, Melopase, Colipace, Metaphase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -DNA replication requires other enzymes in addition to DNA polymerase, including DNA primase, DNA helicase, DNA ligase, and topoisomerase.

Detailed explanation-2: -There are four main enzymes that facilitate DNA replication: helicase, primase, DNA polymerase, and ligase.

Detailed explanation-3: -One of the key players is the enzyme DNA polymerase, also known as DNA pol. In bacteria, three main types of DNA polymerases are known: DNA pol I, DNA pol II, and DNA pol III. It is now known that DNA pol III is the enzyme required for DNA synthesis; DNA pol I and DNA pol II are primarily required for repair.

Detailed explanation-4: -The central enzyme involved is DNA polymerase, which catalyzes the joining of deoxyribonucleoside 5′-triphosphates (dNTPs) to form the growing DNA chain.
