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 I

C

Topo - isomerase

D

Swielases (helicase or unwindadsea

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C
c) The enzymes 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.
