Which enzyme is responsible for adding nucleotides during replication?
A
RNA Polymerase
B
DNA Polymerase
C
Helicase
D
Primase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -One of the key molecules in DNA replication is the enzyme DNA polymerase. DNA polymerases are responsible for synthesizing DNA: they add nucleotides one by one to the growing DNA chain, incorporating only those that are complementary to the template.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA Polymerase adds nucleotides to the free end of RNA primers.

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.
