To determine which enzyme is not used while isolating DNA from bacteria, we can analyze the functions of the enzymes listed in the options. Here's a step-by-step breakdown of the reasoning: ### Step 1: Understand the Purpose of DNA Isolation When isolating DNA from bacteria, the goal is to extract pure DNA without contamination from other cellular components such as proteins and RNA. ### Step 2: Evaluate Each Enzyme 1. **Lysozyme**: This enzyme is used to break down the bacterial cell wall, facilitating the release of DNA. Therefore, it is used in the isolation process. ...
