In DNA replication, the Okazaki fragments are joined by
In DNA replication, the Okazaki fragments are joined by
Updated On: Jan 9, 2025
- DNA helicase
- DNA ligase
- DNA polymerase
- DNA primase
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Okazaki fragments are short DNA segments synthesized on the lagging strand during replication. DNA ligase plays a critical role by sealing nicks between these fragments to form a continuous DNA strand. Other enzymes like helicase and primase have distinct roles, such as unwinding DNA and synthesizing primers, respectively
