Question
The following are enzymes required in DNA replication except A. DNA helicase B. Topoisomerase C. DNA primase D. DNA synthase
Solution
The answer is D. DNA synthase. This is not an enzyme involved in DNA replication. The enzymes involved in DNA replication are DNA helicase, Topoisomerase, and DNA primase. DNA helicase unwinds the DNA double helix, Topoisomerase relieves the strain caused by the unwinding, and DNA primase synthesizes a short RNA primer that serves as a starting point for DNA synthesis.
