Match the enzyme the phenotype resulting from its malfunctio

Match the enzyme the phenotype resulting from its malfunction :

a) DNA Helicase

b) DNA Ligase

c) DNA Polymerase

d) Primase

1) Synthesis of complementary DNA chain would begin but would not be able to finish.

2) The two DNA strands would not be able to seperate for replication.

3) Synthesis of complementary DNA chains would not be initiated.

4) Synthesis would result in one long DNA molecule and also many small DNA segments.

Solution
