AI Generated Solution

**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding the Question**: The question asks for the name of the enzyme that can break and reseal the strands of DNA. 2. **Identifying the Enzyme**: The enzyme that performs this function is called **topoisomerase**. 3. **Function of Topoisomerase**: Topoisomerase is responsible for causing nicks (breaks) in the DNA strands. After creating these nicks, it can then reseal the DNA strands. ...
