The enzyme that constructs the new strand of DNA during replication is known as ____
|
|
DNA Helicase
|
|
|
DNA Polymerase
|
|
|
DNA Ligase

Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The enzyme that synthesizes DNA, DNA polymerase, can only add nucleotides to an already existing strand or primer of DNA or RNA that is base paired with the template. An enzyme, DNA polymerase, is required for the covalent joining of the incoming nucleotide to the primer.
Detailed explanation-2: -The central enzyme involved is DNA polymerase, which catalyzes the joining of deoxyribonucleoside 5′-triphosphates (dNTPs) to form the growing DNA chain.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA polymerase (DNAP) is a type of enzyme that is responsible for forming new copies of DNA, in the form of nucleic acid molecules.
