The enzymes that help to complete DNA Replication are ______, ________, _______, _______, and their functions are _______________ ? 

Helicase: Unzips DNA strands by breaking hydrogen bonds 

Primase: Acts as a guide for DNA polymerase & signals the starting point 

DNA Polymerase: Follows the signals left by primase and builds new base pairs in the correct locations 

Ligase: Acts as glue and seals the DNA strands together
