Solution

Sure, here are the enzymes matched to their roles in the DNA replication process:

  1. Helicase: Unwinds the DNA molecule
  2. Polymerase: Synthesizes the complementary daughter strands
  3. RNA primase: Synthesizes RNA primer at the initiation point
  4. Topoisomerase: Creates nicks ahead of the replication fork to relieve tension from unwinding
  5. Ligase: Joins the Okazaki fragments together
