The specific type of enzyme -the DNA ligase that facilitates the joining of DNA strands together by catalyzing the formation of a phosphodiester bond. The DNA ligase seals up the sequence of DNA into two continuous double strandsThe result when DNA ligase has completed its job is:
two new strands of DNA.

The result is two DNA molecules consisting of one new and one old chain of nucleotides.
