Which enzyme synthesizes the lagging strand of the DNA?
A) DNA ligase
B) DNA primase
C) Topoisomerase
D) DNA polymerase I
E) DNA polymerase III

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA polymerase III is the main enzyme responsible for synthesis of the lagging strand during DNA replication. It works in conjunction with DNA polymerase I and DNA ligase to complete the process. DNA primase is involved in the synthesis of RNA primers that initiate DNA replication, while topoisomerase is involved in the unwinding and relaxation of the double-stranded DNA during replication.
