What enzyme glues the DNA together after replication?

DNA ligase is the enzyme responsible for sealing the nicks in the sugar-phosphate backbone of the newly synthesized DNA strands during DNA replication. It forms phosphodiester bonds between adjacent nucleotides to join the DNA segments together.


Why can't they call the extra pieces of DNA that we didn't need or use junk DNA?

They are called non-coding DNA. It was called "junk DNA" at one time by people doing research on DNA because they didn't think these DNA codes had any use. Now they know that they have uses and so have stopped using that name "junk DNA".
