Name of a few enzymes involved in DNA replication other than DSNA polymerase and ligase.name the key function each of them?
Which of the followings statements are true about DNA polymerase?
1.) It can only go in one direction, meaning the lagging strand can't be synthesized continuously.
2.) It cannot start a DNA strand from scratch, so another enzyme is needed to create "primers" as a starting point.
3.) It cannot copy epigenetic marks (such as methyl groups) on its own; these must be "copied" onto the daughter DNA strand by other enzymes after DNA replication.
4.) All of the above
An RNA-dependent DNA polymerase that carries the RNA template with it to synthesize repeats at the 3'-ends of chromosomes is called:
telomerase
topoisomerase
DNA ligase
DNA polymerase γ (gamma).
