Hello everyone and welcome to today's video. So which of the following is not a requirement of DNA replication in per carry. It's let's go over each of our answer choices, giving mind that we're looking for the one that does not belong in DNA replication. Let's begin by answer choice A this enzyme is going to be in charge of unwinding the D. N. A molecule so that we may replicate them. It is essential in DNA replication. So we're going to cancel it out. Then we have D. N. A polymerase, this and this is the molecule that is actually going to add nucleotides to the growing DNA strand. This is this enzyme is essential. So we're going to cancel it as well and then we have DNA nucleotides and these are the actual building blocks that we use in order to form the daughter D. N. A strands. This is also essential in DNA replication. So we're going to cancel it out. And finally we have amino assets. Well, remember that amino acids make up proteins and this is not going to be part of any process until translation. Which is going to be at the end of the central dogma. This is not really involved in DNA replication. So the answer choice D amino assets is going to be the correct answer to our question. I really hope this video helped you and I'll see you on the next one
