During DNA replication, the covalent bonding of nucleotides into a new strand of DNA is performed by __________.a. RNA polymerase b. DNA polymerase c. DNA d. ligase e. primase

Respuesta :

Answer: Option B) DNA polymerase

Explanation:

During DNA replication, semi-conservative replication for instance:

- a parent double-stranded DNA splits in two.

- Each strand is then read by the enzyme, DNA polymerase, to ensure accurate replication of a newly synthesized strand

- the new strand contains nucleotides that are complimentary abd covalently bonded to free nucleotides present in the parent strand.

Thus, DNA polymerase is the answer
