Ligase

Vedclass · Answer

(C) During $DNA$ replication, the lagging strand is synthesized in short, discontinuous segments known as Okazaki fragments.These fragments are synthesized in the $5' \rightarrow 3'$ direction.$DNA$ ligase is the enzyme responsible for joining these Okazaki fragments together by catalyzing the formation of a phosphodiester bond between the $3'-OH$ end of one fragment and the $5'-phosphate$ end of the adjacent fragment.Therefore, the correct option is $C$.

Column-$I$ (Enzyme)	Column-$II$ (Function)
$P$. $DNA$ Polymerase	$I$. Synthesizes $DNA$ strand
$Q$. $DNA$ Helicase	$II$. Breaks $H$-bonds of $DNA$ strands
$R$. $DNA$ Ligase	$III$. Joins $DNA$ fragments
