    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 pblymerase

    C)  topo-isomerase

    D)  swielases (helicase or unwindases)

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

     The enzyme helicase unwinds the helix (by disrupting H bonds) while topo-isomerasie breaks and releases tension of strands of DNA. Topo-isomerases   also   takes   part   in recombination. DNA ligase helps in joining the Okazaki segments which form the lagging strand. DNA polymerase-I removes the RNA primer and   helps   in   the   formation   of oligodeoxyribo nucleotide chain in its place for completing the replication.
