  • DNA Polymerase: The Enzyme Essential for DNA Replication
    The enzyme protein used to copy DNA is DNA polymerase.

    Here's a breakdown:

    * DNA polymerase is a crucial enzyme involved in DNA replication. Its primary function is to synthesize new DNA strands using an existing DNA strand as a template.

    * It adds nucleotides one by one to the new DNA strand, ensuring that they are complementary to the template strand.

    * There are several types of DNA polymerase, each with specific roles in replication and repair.
