DNA Polymerase
An enzyme involved in DNA formation, it creates bonds between nucleotides.
Video: DNA Polymerase simple definition.
Imagine you're trying to assemble a jigsaw puzzle, where each piece must fit perfectly to reveal the final picture. Just like placing each puzzle piece in its correct spot, DNA polymerase meticulously joins nucleotides together to form a complete DNA strand. In this analogy, the puzzle pieces are like the nucleotides, and DNA polymerase acts as the person assembling the puzzle, ensuring that each piece (or nucleotide) is correctly bonded to form the complete image (or DNA strand).
