The question is about DNA replication enzymes. After RNA primers are removed and DNA fragments (Okazaki fragments) need to be joined, the enzyme Ligase is responsible for catalyzing the formation of phosphodiester bonds between these fragments. Helicase unwinds DNA, Primase makes RNA primers, DNA Polymerase I/III synthesize DNA, but Ligase joins the fragments.
