ANSWER:
Short Summary:
An enzyme is NOT a piece of DNA. DNA codes for the enzyme.
Detailed Story:
The enzymes are made by the codes of DNA. The DNA itself is not an enzyme.
Terms you should know:
mRNA: Messenger RNA, which gets copied by DNA;
tRNA: Thing(?) that holds an amino acid.
DNA: A double helix-ed strands of codes that code for protein; this always stays in the nucleus.
Nucleus: an organelle that protects DNA on plant or animal cells.
Ribosome: an organelle that helps code for amino acid.
Amino Acid: Things(?) that are used to make a protein; gets put together by a ribosome.
- First, DNA gets copied into mRNA.
- Next, the mRNA leaves the nucleus.
- Then, the mRNA is held and read by a ribosome, which gets the right tRNA to place the right amino acid in order. [clarification needed..]
- The sequence starts with "Met", which codes for beginning of protein. When the mRNA reaches the sequence "stop", the protein with full amino acid releases complete protein, which can be an enzyme.

What else can I help you with?
Whether enzyme is bigger or DNA is bigger in molecular size and how do we conclude that?
enzyme is nothing but the protein which is formed from DNA by translation through transcription of a particular region of the DNA . so obviously the DNA is larger than the enzyme in molecular size.
Which enzyme would probably not be needed for DNA replication?
DNA helicase
Where do they cut the DNA strand?
They direct a specific Restriction Enzyme to cut the Dna Exactly where required.
Which enzyme would cut for this strand of DNA gcatggatcccaatgc?
gcgtagg
What is DNA lipase used for in genetic engineering?
The DNA lipases are the paste enzyme which helps to join the broken DNA fragments in genetic engineering
A complementary DNA copy of a piece of RNA can be made using an enzyme called?
reverse transcriptase
Is DNA helicase an enzyme?
Yes, DNA helicase is an enzyme.
What does a primer do in PCR and how does it contribute to the amplification of DNA fragments?
A primer in PCR is a short piece of DNA that binds to a specific target sequence on the DNA template. It serves as a starting point for DNA synthesis by the DNA polymerase enzyme. The primer helps the enzyme to accurately copy the target DNA sequence, leading to the amplification of the DNA fragment during PCR.
What enzyme cuts and seals DNA?
The enzyme that cuts DNA is called a restriction enzyme, while the enzyme that seals DNA is called DNA ligase. Restriction enzymes cut DNA at specific sequences, creating breaks in the DNA strands, while DNA ligase seals these breaks by catalyzing the formation of phosphodiester bonds between the DNA fragments.
What is the function of restriction enzymes in the process of DNA recombination?
First, a specific enzyme is needed to cut the DNA from the donor genes at a specific site. This enzyme is called a restriction enzyme.The enzyme is used to cut out a piece of DNA that contains one or more desired genes from the donor's DNA. Next, a vector is needed to receive the donor DNA. Most frequently, a naturally occurring circular piece of bacterial DNA, called a plasmid, is used for this purpose. Finally, an enzyme is used to "stitch" the donor DNA into the plasmid vector. This enzyme is called ligase, and it creates permanent bonds between the donor DNA and the plasmid DNA. The result is that the donor DNA is incorporated into the bacterial plasmid, forming the recombinant DNA (rDNA)
What enzyme is responsible for cutting DNA molecules?
The enzyme responsible for cutting DNA molecules is called a restriction enzyme.
What enzyme is used to join DNA nucleotides?
In DNA replication, DNA polymerase III is the enzyme which joins the DNA nucleotides together via phospodiester bonds.DNA Ligase is the enzyme that seals gaps in DNA during DNA Replication.DNA Ligase is the enzyme that seals gaps in DNA during DNA Replication.
What is the name of the enzyme that aids in the process of replication?
The enzyme DNA dependent DNA polymerase is essential for DNA replication
What does the helicase enzyme do?
Helicase is an enzyme involved in DNA replication. It unwinds and unzips the parental DNA strand.
Which restriction enzyme did you use to cut the DNA?
The restriction enzyme used to cut the DNA was EcoRI.
What enzyme pulls DNA apart?
the studamire enzyme
Which enzyme is responsible for adding complementary DNA bases to an exposed DNA strand?
The enzyme responsible for adding complementary DNA bases to an exposed DNA strand is DNA polymerase.
