DNA polymerase? Nah, that's for synthesizing new DNA, not stitching existing pieces together. DNA ligase all the way!

DNA ligase, for sure. I mean, what else would you use to join DNA fragments? RNA transferase? That's just silly.

Definitely not RNA transferase, that's for sure.

I'm not sure, but I think it's either A) DNA polymerase or C) DNA ligase.

Hmm, DNA ligase sounds right. It's the enzyme that seals the nicks between DNA fragments, isn't it?
