The main enzymes involved in DNA replication are:
Helicase: unwinds the double helix into two strands
Polymerase: adds nucleotides to an existing strand
Ligase: brings together the Okazaki fragments
Topoisomerase: cuts and rejoins the helix
RNA primase: catalyzes the synthesis of RNA primers
Hope this helps!

DNA replication is carried out by a series of?
Enzymes!! :D
What enzymes produced a new DNA strand during DNA replication?
DNA Polymerase
Is DNA oxidase responsible for replication of DNA?
No, at least not on its own. There are at least 32 (there may be more undiscovered that have more minor rolls in the process) different enzymes that are part of the DNA replication process. For example, DNA helicase "unzips" the DNA strand. There are also enzymes that prime it, copy, fix errors, etc.
What enzyme directs DNA replication?
the chains are first separated by enzymes called helicases.the helicase enzymes move along the DNA molecule and break the hydrogen bonds between the complementary bases separating the chains. then another enzyme called DNA polymerases comes and separates them even more creating new DNA molecules with new DNA and old DNA.
How are individual DNA strands are constructed?
DNA replication duplicates the DNA strands. This process is accompanied by various enzymes such as DNA polymerase, Helicase, Topoisomerase.In labs they are constructred by Polymerase chain reaction(PCR).
What controls DNA replication?
Enzymes
What are enzymes that have a proofreading role in DNA replication?
DNA polymerases
Why are enzymes important to the DNA replication?
Without enzymes, DNA replication would not occur. DNA Polymerases are responsible for catalysing the bonding of nucleotides, and for replacing primers. These functions are essential for DNA replication.
DNA replication occurs with or without the aid of enzymes?
definitly with the help of enzymes is not replication wouldn't be able to occur.

What enzymes produced a new DNA strand during DNA replication?
DNA Polymerase
What is it called when DNA separate into two strands?
DNA Replication by enzymes that copy DNA for chromosomes in the new cell after cell division (mitosis)
What happens first at each origin replication?
Enzymes unwind DNA!
What happenes first at each origin of replication?
Enzymes unwind DNA!
What are the four enzymes involved in DNA replication and repair?
DNA polymerase III DNA polymerase I DNA Ligase DNA Helicase
During replication what is the function of the enzyme DNA polymerase?
DNA polymerase are enzymes that form bonds between nucleotides during replication.
What if your job among enzymes on the DNA replication team is to keep single DNA strands from?
