Question:medium

Match the enzymes with their functions in DNA replication:

List IList II
A. Topoisomerase --- III. Helps to relieve the twisting strain ahead of the replication fork
B. Helicases --- I. Unwinds the double helix at the replication fork, separating the parental strands
C. DNA polymerase --- IV. Catalyzes the synthesis of new DNA by adding nucleotides
D. DNA ligase --- II. Joining the sugar phosphate backbones of all the Okazaki fragments
III. Helps to relieve the twisting strain ahead of the replication fork
I. Unwinds the double helix at the replication fork, separating the parental strands
IV. Catalyzes the synthesis of new DNA by adding nucleotides
II. Joining the sugar phosphate backbones of all the Okazaki fragments

Show Hint

Topoisomerase relieves strain; Helicase unwinds; DNA polymerase synthesises; DNA ligase joins fragments.
