Question

What is the role of enzymes in the dna replication process?

a. enzymes read the dna code and build a new dna molecule from scratch.
b. enzymes link together to form a template for a new dna molecule to be built.
c. enzymes split the dna molecule into two rails and then transport corresponding nitrogenous bases to each rail.
d. enzymes link adjacent nucleosides together, becoming an integral part of the structure of the new strands of dna?

Answer 1

Answer: enzymes split the DNA molecule into two rails and then transport corresponding nitrogenous bases to each rail.

Explanation: enzymes perform two roles during DNA replication. first, DNA helicase splits the bonds holding the complementary nitrogenous bases together, allowing the two sides of the DNA molecule to separate. then DNA polymerase helps complementary nitrogenous bases attach to the exposed nitrogenous bases on the two strands of DNA. several other enzymes (not shown in the Gizmo) are involved in DNA replication.

Answer 2

Enzymes split the DNA molecule into two rails and then transport corresponding nitrogen bases to each rail. C
