Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following components is not involved during the formation of the replication fork?
A
single-strand binding proteins
B
helicase
C
origin of replication
D
ligase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Ligase is not involved in replication fork formation. The replication fork starts at origin of replication, then helicase unwinds the double helix structure to open up the replication fork.

Detailed explanation-2: -ligase is not involved during the formation of the replication fork.

Detailed explanation-3: -Final answer: DNA Ligase is not involved during DNA replication on the template with polarity 3’
