DNA replication is the process by which DNA makes a copy of itself during cell division. In order to proceed first he two strands must separate so that the main enzyme DNA polymerase starts its work. Now the DNA polymerase I will replace the primer with DNA DNA polymerase I connect Okazaki fragments by deleting RNA primers and replacing the strand with DNA. Incorrect options with explanations- First helicase will separate the helix so that the template and non-coding strand could be differentiated. Secondly, Primase and not DNA polymerase III will form the primer. DNA polymerase III is the main enzyme that does not form the primer, instead, it extends the newly synthesized strand by adding nucleotides to it. Finally, ligase seals the nick which has formed by the removal of small RNA primers.
