The enzyme that is used to bind DNA fragments together is DNA ligase. Using DNA ligase to join DNA fragments is the last step in the production of a recombinant DNA plasmid.

What is the enzyme that binds and separates the DNA strands during transcription?

RNA polymerase is the enzyme that binds to the DNA promoter region and separates the DNA strands during transcription. It then synthesizes an mRNA molecule using one of the strands as a template.


When transcription begins the enzyme is called?

the RNA polymerase attaches to the promoter and transcribes the gene in messenger RNA, or mRNA


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.

The newly created DNA strand binds to the parent DNA strand with the help of ligase enzyme.


What nucleotide sequence would be found on the partner DNA strand of the strand shown ACTGT?

The complementary (partner) strand to the segment ACTGT would be TGACA. This is because in DNA, A binds to T and C binds to G.

Flow chart of 8 steps of DNA replication?

The eight steps of DNA replication are: 1. DNA strands separate, 2. formation of replication fork, 3. RNA primase binds, 4. bases pair up, 5. elongation, 6. RNA primers removed, 7.termination, 8. repair. this can occur in any cell.
