Helicase splits the 3' and 5' Okazaki fragments, while the DNA polymerase attaches the "new" 3' nucleotide, with the "old" 5' nucleotide. As well as proofreading, or making sure that the bases are complementary in order to avoid mutations.

What enzyme is involved in DNA replication?
Helicase and DNA polymerase
What enzyme unzips DNA and RNA?
the one that breaks it is called Helicase and the one that adds it is called Polymerase.
What is the principle enzyme involved in DNA replication?
Two of the enzymes involved in DNA replication are helicase and DNA polymerase. Helicase unwinds the DNA strand and DNA polymerase makes a copy.
What is the enzyme that unzips DNA for translation?
RNA polymerase*the ending "ase", shows that it's an enzyme.
What enzyme catalyzes DNA replication?
one of them is heliocase. it 'unzips' the DNA strand. You can always remember this because it's in a popular joke: Q. Why is the enzyme heliocase a lot like a teenage boy? A. They both want to unzip your jeans (genes) !!!!!
Which enzyme would probably not be needed for DNA replication?
DNA helicase
What enzyme binds to DNA during transcription unzipping the strands of RNA?
DNA helicase is the enzyme that aids DNA in unzipping during transcription.
What Unwinds the DNA strand and breaks the hydrogen bonds between nucleotides in preparation for replication?
The initiation complex makes a small gap for a helicase enzyme to bind. It is the helicase the 'undwinds' the DNA for most of replication. In E. coli, for example, DnaA protein binds DNA to make a small gap between the two DNA strands, where DnaB enzyme (a helicase) can bind to the lagging strand (the one that is copied in fragments). From there, DnaB unwinds the DNA ahead of the polymerase enzyme.
What major enzyme involved on replication?
DNA Helicase is the major enzyme involved in the replication of DNA. The reason why it is so important is that it unwinds the DNA which creates two separate strands.
What is the enzyme that unwinds DNA prior to replication?
DNA Helicase unwinds the DNA strand in the specific location for it to be transcribed.
What does the job of unwinding copying and rewinding DNA inside a cell?
the enzyme helicase unwinds DNA, then DNA rewinds itself back up after translation has finished.
Which of the following is an enzyme needed to connect new bases to a growing strand of DNA A Connexin B Lactase C DNA polymerase D Helicase?
C) DNA Polymerase ; )
