In biochemistry, a ligase is an enzyme that can catalyze the joining of two large molecules by forming a new chemical bond, usually with accompanying hydrolysis of a small pendant chemical group on one of the larger molecules or the enzyme catalyzing the linking together of two compounds, e.g., enzymes that catalyze joining of C-O, C-S, C-N, etc.
Primase is an enzyme that creates a primer on a DNA strand by adding RNA nucleotides to the strand according to the DNA template sequence. This process occurs during DNA Replication. If all this sounds complicated, don't worry. We'll break it down below, starting with how DNA replication works.
