Which of the following covalently connects segments of DNA?
A)helicase
B)DNA polymerase III
C)ligase
D)DNA polymerase I

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ligase is the enzyme that covalently connects (joins) segments of DNA by forming phosphodiester bonds between adjacent nucleotides. Helicase is responsible for separating the strands of DNA, DNA polymerase III and I are responsible for adding nucleotides to the growing DNA strand, and primase is responsible for creating a short RNA primer to initiate DNA synthesis.
