The figure below shows a snippet of DNA in the process of being replicated. The RNA primer is shown as red while DNA is black. What will happen next? (Hint: Recall the order in which you used enzymes in the DNA replication simulation in Section 2.) Ligase will seal the nick in the bottom strand. DNA polymerase I will replace the primer with DNA. Helicase will separate the strands. DNA polymerase III will extend the primer.
