 DNA REPLICATION
1.List and explain the role of the enzymes involved in DNA replication.
Enzyme involved Function
Topoisomerase Relaxes the super coiled DNA
DNA ligase Rejoins the two DNA strands into double
helix and joins Okazaki fragments of the
lagging strand
DNA polymerase Synthesize the new DNA strand; also
proofreads and correct errors
Primase Provides the starting point for DNA
polymerase to begin synthesis of the new
strand
DNA helicase Unwinds the double helix at the
replication fork

2.What are the base pairs? (what bonds with what?)

adenine (A) always bonds with thymine (T)
cytosine (C) always bonds with guanine (G).
