DNA REPLICATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
What of the following has the enzymes listed in the correct order (assume they are applied to one strand where relevant)?
A
helicase, DNA polymerase I, primase, ligase
B
helicase, primase, DNA polymerase I, DNA polymerase III, ligase
C
helicase, primase, DNA polymerase III, DNA polymerase I, ligase
D
helicase, topoisomerase, primase, ligase, DNA polymerase I
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The order of enzymes in DNA replication include the following: DNA helicase, RNA primase, DNA polymerase, and finally DNA ligase. During the process of DNA replication, the double helix unwinds with the help of the enzyme DNA helicase.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA replication involves a certain sequence of events. For each event, there is a specific enzyme which facilitates the process. There are four main enzymes that facilitate DNA replication: helicase, primase, DNA polymerase, and ligase.
