B
Helicase
C
DNA polymerase
D
Restriction enzyme
Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand the role of each enzyme listed: Ligase, Helicase, DNA polymerase, and Restriction enzyme.
Ligase is an enzyme that joins two DNA strands together by forming a phosphodiester bond.
Helicase is responsible for unwinding the DNA double helix during DNA replication.
DNA polymerase is an enzyme that synthesizes new DNA strands complementary to the template strand.
Restriction enzymes, also known as restriction endonucleases, are enzymes that cut DNA at specific nucleotide sequences, known as restriction sites, making them the correct choice for splicing DNA at specific sites.
