Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The main enzyme in DNA replication is
A
DNAse
B
Proteinase
C
RNAse
D
DNA Polymerase
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The central enzyme involved is DNA polymerase, which catalyzes the joining of deoxyribonucleoside 5′-triphosphates (dNTPs) to form the growing DNA chain. However, DNA replication is much more complex than a single enzymatic reaction.

Detailed explanation-2: -DNA polymerase (DNAP) is a type of enzyme that is responsible for forming new copies of DNA, in the form of nucleic acid molecules. Nucleic acids are polymers, which are large molecules made up of smaller, repeating units that are chemically connected to one another.

Detailed explanation-3: -Which DNA polymerase is used in DNA replication? DNA polymerase III is used in the replication process in prokaryotic cells and DNA polymerase is the main enzyme for replication in eukaryotic cells.
