Replication of DNA molecules is catalysed by an enzyme called 

Détails de la réponse
The enzyme that catalyzes the replication of DNA molecules is called polymerase. DNA replication is the process by which a cell makes an exact copy of its DNA. Polymerase is responsible for attaching nucleotides (the building blocks of DNA) in the correct order to form a new strand of DNA. It reads the sequence of nucleotides on the template strand of DNA and adds complementary nucleotides to the new strand, following the base pairing rules (A pairs with T, and C pairs with G). This results in two identical copies of the original DNA molecule, each containing one original strand and one newly synthesized strand. Polymerase plays a crucial role in DNA replication, and without it, cells would not be able to divide and pass on their genetic information to their offspring.
