All right, so here we have five replication proteins and we're asked which one is correctly paired with this function.
00:07
Let's go through each of them and talk about what each of their functions is so we can figure out what the answer is to the problem.
00:15
So helicase is an enzyme that can be dna or rna, but regardless of which one it is, it generally separates the strands.
00:25
So for dna helicase, it separates the double strands.
00:37
And the answer choice actually specifies that this is the function, and so helicase is correctly paired to this function.
00:46
So it's the answer to the question.
00:47
However, let's go through the other ones, just to quickly sum up what they do and why it's incorrect.
00:52
It says here that lagos synthesizes a short rna sequence to initiate replication.
00:57
That's incorrect.
00:58
Lagos actually joins the okazaki fragments of the lagging strand.
01:08
And so that's incorrect.

Single -stranded binding proteins...
