Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The enzyme that makes covalent bonds between Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand of DNA is DNA ligase. RNA polymerase is responsible for making RNA strands during transcription. DNA helicase unwinds and separates the DNA double helix. Transposase is responsible for moving genetic elements within the genome. SSBP (single-stranded binding protein) binds to single-stranded DNA to prevent it from re-forming double-stranded DNA before replication occurs.
