What enzyme builds new DNA strands from existing strands during DNA replication?

DNA Polymerase III is responsible for adding new nucleotides to the strand being synthesised.
Also involved in DNA replication are DNA Polymerase I which replaces primers with nucleotides, and DNA Ligase which joins fragments of DNA together.

What enhances separation of DNA strands during replication?
helicase
What separates the DNA strands during replication?
That would be called the Replication Fork
When DNA separates into two strands the DNA would most likely be directly involved in?
It would most likely be directly involved in replication.
Compare the leading and lagging strands during replication?
the leading strand is synthesized in the same direction as the movement of the replication fork, and the lagging strand is synthesized in the opposite direction
Which is the first step to occur during the process of replication?
Separation of the two DNA strands by the action of the Helicase enzyme.
What enhances separation of DNA strands during replication?
helicase
Does helicase separates the DNA strands during replication?
yes
What separates the DNA strands during replication?
That would be called the Replication Fork
How many strands are replicated in DNA replication?
Two - the leading strand and the lagging strand.
What end product is formed during replication?
two identical strands of DNA
When DNA separates into two strands the DNA would most likely be directly involved in?
It would most likely be directly involved in replication.
Compare the leading and lagging strands during replication?
the leading strand is synthesized in the same direction as the movement of the replication fork, and the lagging strand is synthesized in the opposite direction
Which is the first step to occur during the process of replication?
Separation of the two DNA strands by the action of the Helicase enzyme.
It is necessary for DNA strands to be held together with relatively weak hydrogen bonds?
so that the DNA strands can separate easily during replication.
How many strands of DNA are used as templates during replication?
5'-3' : One strand
What chemical force must be overcome in order to separate the two DNA strands during replication?
h bond
What occurs during replication?
Community Answer 1Cell Division_____________________________Community Answer 2During the process of DNA replication, DNA strands are copied (duplicated) to form new identical strands of DNA.
