Name the enzyme and state its property that is responsible for continuous and discontinous replication of the two strands of a DNA molecule.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The enzyme DNA-dependent DNA polymerase is used for replication. It catalyzes polymerization only in 5. - 3., direction thereby resulting in continuous replication on DNA strand with 3. — 5. polarity
