After DNA fragments with matching sticky ends are temporarily joined by complementary base- pairing,the union can be made permanent by the "pasting" enzyme

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA ligase is the enzyme responsible for making the temporary union of matching sticky ends permanent by catalyzing the formation of phosphodiester bonds between the adjacent nucleotides of the joined fragments. DNA polymerase synthesizes new DNA strands from a template, DNA helicase unwinds the double-stranded DNA, and covalentase is not a known enzyme involved in DNA replication or repair.
