How do enzymes facilitate DNA replication

Enzymes play crucial roles in DNA replication by unwinding the double helix, synthesizing new DNA strands, and ensuring accuracy. Helicase unwinds the DNA, DNA polymerase synthesizes the new strand by adding nucleotides, primase creates short RNA primers to initiate synthesis, and ligase joins the DNA fragments together. These coordinated activities ensure the faithful replication of the genetic material.
