Other than DNA polymerase, which of the following enzymes involved in DNA synthesis ?

Options

A. Topoisomerase
B. Helicase
C. RNA primase
D. all of these.

Answer

D

Explanation

(d) : Process of DNA synthesis whereby a parent DNA molecule is faithfully copied , giving rise to two identical daughter molecules id called DNA replication. In DNA synthesis, DNA polymerase plays an important role having the capability to elongate an existing DNA strand but cannot initiate the synthesis. So, the synthesis is initiated with the help of RNA primer formed by RNA primase. RNA primase synthesises the short RNA primer of about 10 nucleotides that is elongated by DNA polymerase to form an Okazaki fragment of DNA during DNA replication. Helicase unzips the two strands of DNA and toposiomerase reduces the coiling tension developed due to the unwinding of the two strands of DNA and topoisomerase reduces the coiling tension developed due to the unwinding of the two strands.
