Really? I always thought it was something else.
BR

Nope, it's ligase for sure. No doubt about it!
JA

Wait, I thought it was DNA polymerase?
AR

Totally agree, ligase is the key enzyme here.
AL
Alpha

It's definitely DNA ligase that joins those fragments!

I’m leaning towards DNA ligase too, but what if it’s one of the other options? I wish I had studied more about the specific functions of each enzyme.

I’m a bit confused; I thought DNA polymerase also played a role in joining fragments, but maybe that’s just for synthesis?

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think DNA ligase was the enzyme that connects the Okazaki fragments during replication.

I think the answer might be DNA ligase since it’s known for joining DNA fragments, but I’m not completely sure.

I'm a bit confused by this question. I know there are different enzymes involved in DNA processing, but I'm not sure which one specifically joins fragments from different sources. I'll have to guess and hope for the best on this one.

DNA gyrase and RNA transferase don't sound right for this question. I'm leaning towards either DNA ligase or DNA polymerase, but I'm not 100% sure. I'll have to review my notes to be certain.

Okay, let me think this through step-by-step. DNA ligase is the enzyme that can join the phosphodiester bonds between DNA fragments, so that's got to be the right answer. I feel confident about this one.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about this one. I know DNA polymerase is involved in DNA replication, but I'm not sure if it can join fragments from different sources. I'll have to think this through carefully.
VI
Vincenza

I'm pretty sure this is asking about the enzyme that can join DNA fragments from different sources, so I think the answer is DNA ligase.
LI

Hmm, this looks like a tricky one. I'll need to think through the steps carefully.
DE
Deane

We practiced a similar question in class, and I think it's definitely option A. That event match for 'configure terminal' seems crucial for triggering the notification.
AR

DNA polymerase? Nah, that's for synthesizing new DNA, not stitching existing pieces together. DNA ligase all the way!
LU

DNA ligase all the way!
LA

Definitely, DNA ligase is the correct enzyme for joining DNA fragments.

That's right! DNA ligase is the enzyme that enables DNA fragments from different sources to be joined.

DNA polymerase? Nah, that's for synthesizing new DNA, not stitching existing pieces together.
BR

DNA polymerase is for synthesizing new DNA, not for stitching existing pieces together.

DNA ligase, for sure. I mean, what else would you use to join DNA fragments? RNA transferase? That's just silly.
AN
Angelo
1 year ago
Definitely not RNA transferase, that's for sure.
LA
Laticia

I agree, DNA ligase is the enzyme that joins DNA fragments.
MA
Matthew

I'm not sure, but I think it's either A) DNA polymerase or C) DNA ligase.
RA
Raymon

C'mon, this is a no-brainer. Everybody knows DNA ligase is the correct answer here.
WI
Wilda

Hmm, DNA ligase sounds right. It's the enzyme that seals the nicks between DNA fragments, isn't it?
MI
Mira

I agree with Marjory, DNA ligase is the enzyme that joins DNA fragments.
PA
Patria

DNA ligase? That's the one! I remember learning about it in my molecular biology class.
MA

I think the answer is C) DNA ligase.
