    The enzyme, which helps to cut one strand of DNA duplex to release tension of coiling of two strands is :

    A) DNA ligase

    B) DNA polymerase

    C) topo-isomerase

    D) swielases (helicase or unwindases)

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    The enzyme helicase unwind the helix (by disrupting H bonds) while topo-isomerase break and release tension of strands of DNA. Topo-isomerase also take part in recombination. DNA ligase : help in joining the Okazaki segments which forms the lagging strand. DNA polymerase-1 : removes the RNA primer and helps in the formation of oligodeoxyribonucleotide chain in its place for completing the replica chain.
