Open in App
Solution
The correct option is C Ligase
- DNA ligase is a specific type of enzyme, a ligase, that facilitates the joining of DNA strands together by catalyzing the formation of a phosphodiester bond.
- Okazaki fragments are short, newly synthesized DNA fragments that are formed on the lagging template strand during DNA replication.
- Enzyme ligase connects (ligates) the two Okazaki fragments into one continuous newly synthesized complementary strand.
- Thus, option C is correct.
