DNA Replication Practice

Enzyme that unwinds the DNA

• ligase
• DNA Polymerase
• primase
• helicase

Seals the Okazaki fragments together

• DNA Polymerase
• ligase
• helicase
• primase

Adds nucleotides to the newly synthesized strand of DNA

• DNA polymerase I
• DNA polymerase III
• Primase
• Ligase

Synthesizes a short fragment of RNA that allows DNA polymerase III to bind

• ligase

• DNA polymerase I

• primase

• helicase

Removes the RNA primer and adds DNA nucleotides to fill in the gap

• DNA polymerase III

• ligase

• primase

• DNA polymerase I

Direction new nucleotides are synthesized on the new strand

• 5^' to 3' (new nucleotides added to the 3' end)

• 3' to 5' (new nucleotides added to the 5' end)
