DNA replication is aided by enzymes. Without the enzymes DNA will not be able to replicate.

There are three main enzymes involved-


Helicase - This enzyme separates the two parental DNA


DNA Polymerase - This enzyme exists in different forms and each one of them have a specific function in the replication of DNA.


In short, it enhances each strands, adds base pairs and repairs any damage done to the strands during the replication process.


Ligase - This enzyme puts the two stands together after the replication is complete.

In order to replicate where do DNA molecules separate?

DNA molecules separate or unwind at specific sites known as replication origins. These regions serve as starting points for the enzyme complex that unwinds the DNA strands, creating a replication fork. DNA replication occurs bidirectionally from each origin, with the two strands being replicated simultaneously.

What is the function of DNA gyrase?

DNA gyrase is a bacterial enzyme which introduces supercoils into the bacterial DNA, resulting in a highly condensed 3-dimentional struture. it is also known as Topoisomerase. Quinolones and F/Quinolones inhibit this enzyme and thus interfere with bacterial DNA replication. The enzyme is absent in humans.

The enzyme telomerase solves the problem of replication by?

Telomerase helps solve the problem of DNA replication by adding repetitive sequences to the ends of chromosomes, known as telomeres. This prevents the loss of important genetic information during each round of cell division. By preserving the length of telomeres, telomerase maintains the stability and integrity of chromosomes.
