The enzyme that is used to join complementary DNA nucleotides together is
A)DNA polymerase.
B)RNA polymerase.
C)helicase.
D)ribozyme.
E)lipase.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA polymerase is the enzyme that catalyzes the formation of phosphodiester bonds between the 3’ end of a nucleotide and the 5’ end of the growing DNA strand, joining complementary DNA nucleotides together during DNA replication and repair. RNA polymerase is involved in the transcription of RNA from DNA, helicase unwinds the double-stranded DNA helix during replication, ribozymes are RNA molecules that catalyze chemical reactions, and lipase breaks down lipids.
