Voici pourquoi :
* ADN polymérase is responsible for synthesizing new DNA strands, using the existing strands as templates. It reads the template strand and adds complementary nucleotides to the new strand, ensuring accurate replication.
* There are different types of DNA polymerase involved in different stages of replication:
* ADN polymérase III is the primary polymerase responsible for the majority of DNA synthesis.
* ADN polymérase I is involved in removing RNA primers and filling in the gaps between Okazaki fragments on the lagging strand.
* ADN polymérase II est impliqué dans la réparation de l’ADN.
Alors que d'autres enzymes jouent un rôle important dans la réplication (comme l'hélicase, la primase, la ligase, etc.), l'ADN polymérase est l'enzyme cruciale qui effectue le processus principal d'ajout de nucléotides et de création de nouveaux brins d'ADN.
