What are the enzymes required for DNA replication?
Explain...Mods will verify ur answer

HEY-:)
Enzymes required for DNA replication--
↪DNA Polymerase - Elongates a new DNA strand at a replication fork. Adds nucleotides one by one to the new and growing DNA strand.
↪DNA ligase - Joins sugar-phosphates of Okazaki fragments. Okazaki fragments are found on the lagging strand.
↪Primase - Starts an RNA chain from scratch that will eventually be replaced by DNA nucleotides (remember nucleotides come from DNA polymerase).
↪Helicase - Untwists the double helix at replication forks to make two parental strands available as template strands.
↪Topoisomerase - Relieves strain of ahead of the replication fork due to untwisting of the double helix.
mods can verify.... hope it helps
Answer:
The RNA primers are made by RNA primase, and the Okazaki fragments are joined by DNA ligase. DNA polymerase is the enzyme that carries in the daughter nucleotides, and DNA helicase is the one that unwinds the double helix to open the replication fork.
