Principle enzyme involved in DNA replication?
DNA Polymerase.
What chemical is an enzyme that add nucleotides to a new strand of DNA during replication?
DNA Polymerase is the enzyme which adds new nucleotides during replication.
Kary Mullis discovered a type of DNA polymerase that could withstand high temperatures Why did scientists want to heat up DNA replication?
This is because of Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR). Basically, the problem is that you have a mixture of DNA, polymerase, primers etc, and you want to denature the DNA (separate both chains) - the denaturation happens at 94°C. Since the polymerase is present in the mixture, it has to withstand such temperature.
What class of enzyme is DNA polymerase?
DNA polymerase is a catalyst, by catalyzing the synthesis of new DNA by adding nucleotides to a preexisting chain. There are several different DNA polymerases, but DNA polymerase I and DNA polymerase II play the major roles in DNA replication.
What enzyme binds to DNA and is responsible for making a transcript RNA of DNA?
RNA mRNA tRNA
Which molecule is active during the last step during DNA replication?
DNA ligase. Apex
Principle enzyme involved in DNA replication?
DNA Polymerase.
Who discovered taq polymerase enzyme?
Alice Chien, et al. were the first to describe the Taqpolymerase in 1976.Then, Saiki et al. were the first to employ the polymerase in a published study.Chien A, Edgar DB, Trela JM. Deoxyribonucleic acid polymerase from the extreme thermophile Thermus aquaticus. J Bacteriol 1976;127:1550-1557.Saiki RK, Gelfand DH, Stoffel S, Scharf SJ, Higuchi R, Horn GT, Mullis KB, Erlich HA. Primer-directed enzymatic amplification of DNA with a thermostable DNA polymerase. Science 1988;239:487-491.
What chemical is an enzyme that add nucleotides to a new strand of DNA during replication?
DNA Polymerase is the enzyme which adds new nucleotides during replication.
Is the enzyme that allows replication to occur DNA polymerase or RNA polymerase?
DNA polymerase replicated DNA. RNA polymerase creates mRNA to be used in protein synthesis. RNA polymerase does not replicated DNA.
What is the name of the enzyme that match the DNA bases?
DNA polymerase matches the bases on the parent strand.
What enzyme transcribes DNA?
The enzyme that transcribes the DNA into RNA is called RNA polymerase.
What enzyme elongates DNA?
DNA Polymerase III
What is the processof DNA polymerases add complementary nucleotides to each strand which results in the formation of two identical DNA molecules?
dna polymerase

What enzyme Cuts out the RNA primer on the replicated DNA molecule and replaces it with the appropriate DNA nucleotides?
DNA polymerase :)
