Answer:

Addition of enzymes will increase the speed rate of DNA replication.

Helicase:
It is responsible for DNA strands unwinding and unzip the DNA strands from their center.

Primase:
It is responsible for 5' to 3' direction RNA primers synthesis, okazaki fragment's template.

Polymerase 3:
It synthesize the nucleotides from the 5' to 3' direction on leading end.

Polymerase 1:
It synthesize the nucleotide (okazaki fragments) on lagging strand.

Ligase:
It connects all okazaki fragments.

Topoisomerase:
Topoisomerases are used to regulate the super coiling.
