Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -DNA polymerase is an enzyme that is used to proof read each new DNA strand to ensure no mistakes have been done. DNA polymerase is also responsible for joining nucleotides together to produce a new DNA strand.
Detailed explanation-2: -They called their find “DNA-joining enzyme, ” and this enzyme is now known as DNA ligase. All living cells use some version of DNA ligase to “glue together” short strands of DNA during replication.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA Ligase is the enzyme which helps in joining the fragments of DNA, basically, it acts as a glue.
