Name any two (2) enzymes of DNA replication and mention one specific function each of them.
Name any two (2) enzymes of DNA replication and mention one specific function each of them.

Solution:

The two enzyme   of DNA replication that has a central role in carrying out the process are-

  1. Helicase
  2. DNA polymerase.

 

They perform crucial tasks through which replication of DNA takes place.

Function of helicase

  1. It helps in unwinding of the two strand so that initiation can take place.
  2. It helps in melting of the hydrogen bond present between the nitrogenous bases of the DNA.
  • Remodelling of nucleic acid is assured with the help of helicase.

 

Function of DNA polymerase

  1. It helps in the synthesis of polyribonucleotide’s from mono-deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates.
  2. It helps in error free replication by the help of proof reading.
  • It removes the primer (primer are the oligonucleotide mRNA).
