Match the DNA replication enzyme with the description: Puts in short, complementary RNA primer Breaks hydrogen bonded base pairs Adds complementary DNA nucleotides to the growing DNA strand Connects chunks of replicated DNA on the lagging strand replaces RNA primers with DNA bases primase DNA Polymerase (I - a different DNA polymerase) helicase DNA Polymerase (III - the primary polymerase) ligase

Match each description with the correct enzyme: Makes a DNA copy from a piece of RNA - Primase - DNA Polymerase 1 - Reverse Transcriptase - Helicase - Restriction Endonuclease - DNA Polymerase 3 - Ligase Unwinds double stranded DNA to separate the strands - Primase - DNA Polymerase 1 - Reverse Transcriptase - Helicase - Restriction Endonuclease - DNA Polymerase 3 - Ligase Makes short pieces of RNA during DNA replication - Primase - DNA Polymerase 1 - Reverse Transcriptase - Helicase - Restriction Endonuclease - DNA Polymerase 3 - Ligase Bacterial enzymes that cut double-stranded DNA at specific locations - Primase - DNA Polymerase 1 - Reverse Transcriptase - Helicase - Restriction Endonuclease - DNA Polymerase 3 - Ligase
