Vedclass · Answer

(C) During $	ext{DNA}$ replication,the lagging strand is synthesized in short,discontinuous segments known as Okazaki fragments.These fragments are synthesized by $	ext{DNA}$ polymerase $III$.Once the $	ext{RNA}$ primers are removed and replaced by $	ext{DNA}$ nucleotides,the enzyme $	ext{DNA}$ ligase catalyzes the formation of a phosphodiester bond between the adjacent fragments,effectively joining them into a continuous strand.Therefore,the correct enzyme is $	ext{DNA}$ ligase.

Which enzyme joins the discontinuously synthesised fragments during $\text{DNA}$ replication?
