In DNA replication, polymerases:
A)Enable the strands to unwind from the helix.
B)Help assemble the new DNA strands in proper base sequence.
C)Separate the strands of the double helix.
D)All of the above

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

DNA polymerases are enzymes that synthesize DNA molecules from deoxyribonucleotides, the building blocks of DNA. They are responsible for assembling the new DNA strands by adding nucleotides in the correct sequence according to the template strand. They do not directly enable the strands to unwind from the helix or separate the strands of the double helix; these functions are performed by other enzymes such as helicases.
