Wjat enzymes are responsible foe the formation of the okazaki fragments and what are they responsible for
Added by Bego-A A.
Step 1
- The primary enzyme responsible for synthesizing Okazaki fragments is **DNA polymerase III** in prokaryotes (or DNA polymerase δ in eukaryotes). - **Primase** is also essential as it synthesizes the RNA primer needed to start each Okazaki fragment. Show more…
