role of dna ligase in dna replication
DNA ligase is an enzyme that has a very critical role in the process of DNA replication and DNA repair. There are two different things going on when DNA is replicated. Let's revisit this process very briefly.NA ligase is similar to the construction crew that builds the bridges. Through the process of DNA replication, many fragments are produced. DNA ligase fills the spaces between the different fragments to bridge together the gaps in DNA.
