Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Identify the Enzyme**: The enzyme responsible for the replication of DNA is called **DNA polymerase**. Specifically, it is referred to as **DNA-dependent DNA polymerase**. 2. **Understand the Function of DNA Polymerase**: DNA polymerase plays a crucial role in DNA replication by catalyzing the polymerization of nucleotides to form a new DNA strand. 3. **Direction of Polymerization**: DNA polymerase synthesizes DNA in a specific direction, which is from the **5' end to the 3' end**. This means that it adds nucleotides to the growing strand at the 3' end. ...
