Answer:

All of the above

Step-by-step explanation:

Helicase separates the two DNA strands to prepare them for replication. Without helicase, no replication would be possible, as the amino acids would not be accessible to be copied.

DNA polymerase is on the front lines of replication, directly copying the leading strand all at once. Because the lagging strand cannot be replicated in the same way due to its 3' to 5' orientation. DNA polymerase replicates in fragments while other enzymes fill in the gaps.

Ligase binds these fragments together to form a complete strand.
