Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFThe correct answer is Lipase.Key Points
- Lipase enzyme is not involved in the DNA replication process.
- DNA replication process requires DNA polymerase, DNA primase, DNA helicase, DNA ligase, and topoisomerase enzymes.
- DNA replication is the process by which DNA makes a copy of itself during cell division.
- It is a semiconservative process in which each strand in the DNA double helix acts as a template for the synthesis of a new, complementary strand.
Additional Information
- Lipase is an enzyme the body uses to break down fats in food so they can be absorbed in the intestines.
- DNA polymerase is used for filling small DNA segments during replication and repair processes.
- Primase enzyme catalyzes the synthesis of short RNA molecules.
- Helicase enzyme separates double-stranded DNA into single strands allowing each strand to be copied.
