it ties the chunks of dna together

∙ 12y agoLigase here means the reconnection or more specifically the re-splicing together of Dna 'fragments'. Dna ligase's role in Dna replication is to reconnect the Okazaki fragments that are created by the pattern of replication that takes place upon the COMPLEMENTARY 5'-3' strand of DNA. This happens because DNA polymerases can only read the DNA template from the 5' to the 3' end and add free nucleotides in this direction. The DNA ligase connects the lagging strands created.

∙ 12y agoDNA ligase is responsible for joining together fragments of DNA. In DNA replication, after the primers are replaced by DNA Polymerase I, DNA ligase assists in the formation phosphodiester bonds between the fragments. This is essential for creating one continuous strand.

What enzyme connects nucleotides together during DNA replication?
The Ligase connects nucleotides together during DNA replication.
What is DNA replication is performed by?
It is preformed by RNA or Ribonucleic acid.
What is the role of the DNA ligase in DNA replication apex?
It ties the chunks of DNA together.
What are the 4 enzymes in DNA replication?
DNA Helicase - responsible for separating the two stands DNA Polymerase - responsible for catalyzing the addition of bases to the new strand DNA Ligase - responsible for sealing fragments
What enzyme glues the DNA together after replication?
Question is unclear . If you mean pieces of DNA , thae enzyme is DNA ligase which joins pieces of DNA called Okazaki fragments together .

In the replication of DNA what is the name of the enzyme which joins the lagging strands together?
DNA ligase
What is the function of DNA ligase?
Ligase joins together the Okazaki fragments into a continuous strand of DNA.
What are the four enzymes involved in DNA replication and repair?
DNA polymerase III DNA polymerase I DNA Ligase DNA Helicase
Which enzyme joins the okazagi fragments together on the lagging stand during DNA replication?
DNA ligase
What are the special enzymes of DNA replication?
The main enzymes involved in DNA replication are: Helicase: unwinds the double helix into two strands Polymerase: adds nucleotides to an existing strand Ligase: brings together the Okazaki fragments Topoisomerase: cuts and rejoins the helix RNA primase: catalyzes the synthesis of RNA primers Hope this helps!
